Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney have differing opinions on Liverpool’s chances at Man City

Jamie Carragher has voiced doubts about Liverpool’s chances of winning at Manchester City on Sunday, but Wayne Rooney is more positive about the Reds’ hopes.

Liverpool travel to The Etihad on Sunday in what has been labelled a title decider. Firstly though both teams are in action in the Champions League on Tuesday. But they could both meet again in the final of that competition in May.

But all the talk surrounds Sunday’s Premier League showdown, with just a point separating the champions and Jurgen Klopp’s men.

The bookies have City down as the favourites. And former Liverpool centre-back Carragher says Klopp’s men will have to improve if they are to get anything from the game.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said: “I think both Alisson and Virgil Van Dijk have been fantastic for the last couple of games because during that time Liverpool have just been getting the job done.

“I go back to the 6-0 win over Leeds. And that was a vintage Liverpool display, but it hasn’t been happening for the past couple of games.

“I think they will have to improve their performance level if they want to get the result that they want at Manchester City.”

It’s not totally make or break for either side at the weekend. There are still seven other matches for each side
