The English Premier League football game between Manchester City (1st) and Liverpool (6th) kicks off 20:00 GMT on 03 January 2012 at Etihad Stadium – Manchester.

Manchester City currently leading the premiership table with the 1st spot with 45 points in 19 games, the side has scored 53 goals and conceded, 16. The Citizens did not manage to win their game on Boxing Day drawing over West Bromwich with 0-0 score and letting Manchester United reach the same amount of points.

Manchester City has played 9 Premier League games this season on City of Manchester Stadium. On home ground, Manchester City has won 9, drawn 0 and lost 0 games, and this ranked the Citizens 1st in home team performance in the English Premier League.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini ought to make changes to his side and bring back David Silva following the defeat to Sunderland. Micah Richards was on the bench during that game, and should possible be handed a starting role over the Reds.

Liverpool has not been able to win the three points in two games already, recording two consecutive draws against Wigan with 0-0 score and against Blackburn with 1-1 score teams from the bottom half of the premiership table that should have been easy to defeat. The Reds have the best defensive record in the Premier League, having conceded only 15 goals so far.

Liverpool has played 9 Premier League games this season away from home. On away ground, Liverpool has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 3 games, and this ranked the Reds 4th in away team performance in the English Premier League.

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish could hand Captain Steven Gerrard a start and also Luis Suarez must be available as his eight-match ban is pending an appeal and he may start ahead of Andy Carroll.

Probable Line-Ups:

Manchester City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Toure, Barry, Nasri, Silva and Aguero.

Liverpool: Reina, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard, Adam, Downing, Suarez and Bellamy.
