"Haunt them": Paul Merson predicts how Liverpool v Manchester City will end

Paul Merson has given his prediction for the weekend's Premier League match between Liverpool and Manchester City. Both sides will be hoping to have a successful game on Sunday following their Champions League matches of the midweek. Jurgen Klopp's team are currently leading the league table with 14 points, while the Citizens are 2nd just one point behind the rivals. Merson expects an "interesting game", with the two clubs, however, failing to win. “What a game, eh? The standout fixture of the Premier League weekend. I just think Manchester City are struggling without a center forward and that could come back to haunt them," he wrote on SportsKeeda. “They scored a deflected goal against Chelsea, but they lost to PSG and didn’t really threaten Gianluigi Donnarumma between the sticks despite dominating possession. Donnarumma didn’t make a save I wouldn’t have expected him to make – it was evident that if Manchester City had a lethal center forward on the pitch, it could have been a different story. “Goalscoring isn’t a problem for them if they are playing Norwich City and the likes, but in crunch games, they need to put their chances away. “Liverpool, on the other hand, are scoring goals aplenty, so this is a really interesting game. I think both sides will score goals, so I’m predicting a 2-2 draw. “The talent going forward outweighs the talent at the back, while it can also be said that if both teams get their best XIs out, there’s not a lot between them.” Merson's prediction for Liverpool v Manchester City: 2-2
