City won 1-0 away to Sheffield United last week to move into the top half of the table and they still have a game in hand on most of the other teams. They have only played two home games so far and they have three very good fixtures after this game. They are unbeaten in four games, but they only scored four goals in those games while conceding only two.

Now that he has returned from injury, Kevin De Bruyne is the best of the City players for fantasy managers for the moment at least with Raheem Sterling worth considering too.

Liverpool won 2-1 at home to Westham last week to move to the top of the table ahead of this very big game. They have only won once in their three games with only West Brom conceding more goals on their travels. They have scored in all of their games, but they have only kept one clean sheet so far with only Spurs scoring more goals and only West Brom conceding more.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are the Liverpool players to have for fantasy managers.

This is huge game between last season’s top two and it is a tough one to call, but the chances are the spoils will be shared.

Prediction: 1-1
