Liverpool & Man City: Two teams, three trophies left – who will win what? Danny Murphy analysis
The final few weeks of the season feel perfectly poised — with Liverpool and Manchester City about to go toe to toe, and with so much at stake.
They are the two best teams in the country and they have been miles ahead of everyone else for a few years now with the standards they have set.
Their consistency has been unbelievable too and they both have such great variation in their squads — that's why they both have a chance of taking all three major trophies that are still up for grabs.
You don't really know anymore what Liverpool's starting XI is going to be, particularly in the front areas, and you can never predict what City boss Pep Guardiola is going to do when he picks his team.
I'm looking forward to all the games that both sides have to come, because there is so much riding on every one of them, but especially when they play each other in the next few weeks.
We know that will happen at least twice — in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium on 10 April — and in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley the following weekend. The Champions League final on 28 May is obviously a possibility too.
It's great to see. I think if you love football, you love watching the best teams — with the best players and best managers — going head to head on big occasions like these, with all the quality and intensity on the pitch and the pressure that comes with it.
It is the little details that will decide the big moments when two wonderful sides like Liverpool and City meet.
You want games like that to be settled by a bit of genius but it could be a tiny mistake — one person switching off and losing concentration on a set-play at the wrong time.
Right now, Liverpool just seem less likely to do that. Jurgen Klopp's side know how to get the job done
