Manchester City host Liverpool on Thursday in the Premier League.

City were the dominant force in England two years running, but they fallen short this year and will give a guard of honour to their opponents, who have claimed City’s crown.

Pep Guardiola’s team are still on the hunt for trophies in the FA Cup and Champions League, however.

Liverpool secured the title last week after a 4-0 win over Palace and City’s subsequent defeat at Chelsea.

Prediction

City will be hoping to show they can compete with the new Premier League champions on a one-off basis at least, but Liverpool have habitually had the upper hand in recent games and confidence couldn’t be higher. If the focus is right from Jurgen Klopp’s side, they will be looking to assert their dominance even further, as well as hunting down City’s points haul record.
