Manchester City will be playing for second place going into the new year when they travel to Liverpool on Saturday evening.
Pep Guardiola’s men are currently one place behind the Reds in what is a mouth-watering clash to end the 2016 year on.
Form
Form favours neither team as both are coming off comfortable three goal victories and both teams have also won their last three games.
Liverpool will have the advantage of being at home where Anfield is fast becoming a fortress under Jürgen Klopp.
City will be going into the game after keeping a clean sheet against Hull where Yaya Toure looked to be back at his best who will be crucial come tomorrow.
Two teams who both play an attacking brand of football a goal fest could be in store for the fans with both teams looking vulnerable at the back at times during the season.
Head to head
The match will also bring together the rivalry between Klopp and Guardiola which currently sits at eight head to head matches with each manager winning four.
This time round the two managers will be walking into the game on as level terms as can be and so it will be interesting to see what either of them have up their sleeve for the match.
