On the evening at 18:30 Lithuania time, undoubtedly one of the most interesting matches of this season in the English Premier League will take place - Manchester City will face Liverpool away.
Both teams are walking hand in hand in the country's championship this season - six wins, one draw, and 19 points in the standings. "The Reds" started the season at a fantastic pace - they only lost points in the seventh round.
These teams have unresolved relationships - in the Premier League, Man City faced no resistance last season, but in the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool was the club that stopped the "Cityzens" from fighting for the most prestigious club trophy.
Evaluating the form of the last matches, Pep Guardiola's team should be considered the favorites - Liverpool has not won the last three matches. On the other hand, Man City, bouncing back from a surprising loss in the first match of the Champions League group stage, is on a winning streak.
