A high-profile 2015-2016 Premier League match between current league leaders Manchester City (8-2-2, 26 points) and Liverpool FC (4-3-5, 17 points) is scheduled to be held at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, November 21st.
City was stunned by bottom-dwellers Aston Villa as the latter forced them to a goalless draw at the Villa Park on November 8th before the international break, as per SkySports.
It was indeed a valiant effort for the Villans to stop all of Manuel Pellegrini's elite scorers, such as Raheem Sterling, Wilfried Bony, Yaya Touré, Fernandinho, and Kevin De Bruyne, in the entire 90 minutes of action and they are well-deserved for the point in the overall standings.
Meanwhile, Liverpool suffered their first loss in the Jürgen Klopp era as they dropped a 1-2 decision to Crystal Palace at the Anfield also on November 8th, via The Guardian.
The Eagles' Congolese midfielder Yannick Bolasie struck first at the 21st minute before Barça target Philippe Coutinho leveled it three minutes before the halftime interval.
However, English center back Scott Dann found the back of the net eight minutes before full-time to snatch the game away from the Reds at their home field.
Liverpool remained at the 10th spot of the league table as they have only managed two wins in their last six outings.
The prediction is Manchester City over Liverpool, 3-1. Pellegrini's men are eager to bounce back from their disappointing performance in their last game and the Reds are the unfortunate victims this time around.
Manchester City starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hart; Sagna, Kolarov, Otamendi, Kompany; Fernandinho, Fernando; De Bruyne, Touré, Sterling; Bony
Liverpool starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Mignolet; Clyne, Moreno, Skrtel, Sakho; Coutinho, Ibe; Can, Lallana, Leiva; Benteke
