Liverpool vs Manchester City: 5 Point Preview

#3 Current Form

Virgil Van Dijk is expected to take charge of Liverpool's defence

The football played in England during the festive season is very decisive in nature, as a successful run could propel the team towards a confident finish to the season.

Many of the Big Six teams had a mixed run of form – Manchester United went on a 3-match drawing streak, Arsenal slipped to 6th and surprise European spots contenders, Burnley, could accumulate only 3 points in the last five games.

City and Pool, on the other hand, are in strong form, and exactly similar ones at that. With 13 points in the last five games, this strong run could possibly end for one of the teams in question, and they certainly have the firepower to do so.
