Liverpool Vs.Manchester City Preview

Liverpool play Manchester this week in what should be an interesting game between two of the leagues most attacking teams. In addition to this both teams will be looking at claiming the league title for the season making this a significant game. Klopp has performed well against top 6 teams since the start of his tenure as Liverpool manager and the strength of Liverpool's attack at the start of the season means this trend is likely to continue. In addition to this it will be interesting to see whether Coutinho will make an appearance and what impact he will have after a summer of speculation over his future amidst interest from Barcelona.

City while having an unbeaten start to the season have not looked entirely convincing, relying on late goals to beat newly promoted Brighton and another later late goal from Ex-Liverpool star Raheem Sterling to earn a point from Everton.  Pep Guardiola's stint at Manchester City has been disappoint so far considering the extent of his success at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Therefore the spaniard and his team will be looking for a far more successful second season in charge.

Score Prediction: Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City

There's almost no chance that Liverpool will keep a clean sheet with their notoriously flakey defence and the strength of Manchester City's attack. But Liverpool's attack is arguably the best in the league and Liverpool's tendency to get strong results makes me think this match will go narrowly to the Reds

In addition to this they've won both their home games in the Champion's League so far keeping clean sheets. They will be wanting to bounce back after their 29 game unbeaten run at home was brought to an end by Dortmund.

Should Mourinho Go?

Most of us can only imagine the kind of pressure that the managers of top sports teams are under. Pressure from fans and owners to gt results in addition to he constant media scrutiny. Mourinho is one of the best managers in the world having won 2 Champions Leagues and 15 domestic competitions in Italy, Spain England and Portugal. However, Chelsea currently stand 15th in the Premier League and have been knocked out of the Capital One Cup. Chelsea's title defence has been a shambles, but the fans stand beside him and the fact he has lasted this long shows the board must have some confidence in him. Mourinho is often critiqued for his defensive approach to games, but this is easy to defend when they're winning although it can be a bit boring but understandable as results are the most important factor in a teams success.
