Manchester City v Liverpool (2000 GMT)

I'm going to this game, and you just know the heat will be on Manchester City. After a draw and a defeat in their last two games, everyone will be talking about them wobbling under the pressure at the top.

I can see Liverpool pinching a draw, and possibly stopping City scoring, but I don't think the alarm bells should start ringing if City boss Roberto Mancini's men do draw another blank.

This is clearly a bad run for them but, even at the top of the table, teams lose form. Even when Arsenal went the whole season unbeaten a few years back, they still dropped points.

I don't really understand why Mancini left David Silva and Sergio Aguero on the bench against Sunderland and rested Mario Balotelli altogether.

He has to be careful about leaving players out because he thinks they might get tired, because if they are told they are tired, they will act like it.

I also think you should pick your best team possible in order to win matches because, if you leave players out and you don't win, you are left thinking 'what if'. So Mancini has to pick his strongest team for this game, and worry about tiredness another time.

Luis Suarez is available, which will be a big boost for Liverpool, but I think they will try to frustrate City - like West Brom and Sunderland before them. The Reds have been very solid defensively recently, and I think they will pull it off.

Prediction: Manchester City 0-0 Liverpool
 
He is way off the mark. Bellamy will score early but it will finish Man City 1-1 Bindippers with Aguero grabbing an 88th minute equalizer..
 
Pretty much spot on from Lawrenson.

Talks a lot of shit Lawrenson but I think he's spot on with that.

Wasn't happy to hear Mancini crying about the fixtures the other day.

It's like you're giving players excuses for not performing before the game has even started.
