MANCHESTER CITY
vs
LIVERPOOL FC
Etihad Stadium, Manchester
August 25th, 2014; 19:00 GMT
England: Premier League
Manager: Manuel Pellegrini. In last summer in heartbreaking fashion for Liverpool, delivered the Premier League title on his first attempt. But had never won a league title in Europe.
It is a skirmish between the winner of the 2013-14 Barclay’s Premier League season, and the side that finished a very close second.
City lost to the Reds in a barnstormer of a game in April, but recovered to clinch the league title with a straightforward victory over West Ham United on the final day.
This is a game that has a very real say in the outcome of the League. And Manuel Pellegrini and Brendan Rodgers will treat it as such.
In Spain, Pellegrini had taken unfashionable Villarreal to the semi-finals of the Champions League and also led the Yellow Submarine to a second placed finish in La Liga, their highest ever finish.
Manchester City FC Probable Starting Line-up (4-2-2-2): Hart (GK); Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy; Toure, Fernandinho; Nasri, Silva; Jovetic, Dzeko
Liverpool FC Probable Starting Line-up (4-2-3-1): Mignolet (GK); Manquillo, Skrtel, Lovren, Moreno; Gerrard, Can; Henderson, Coutinho, Sterling; Sturridge
