The much-anticipated clash between Liverpool and Man. City at Anfield tomorrow looks like a knockout to determine who can challenge Chelsea for the title. A draw would do neither side any favours in their pursuit of Antonio Conte's Blues who are six points clear of second-placed Liverpool and threatening to disappear over the horizon even before new year. City lie one point further back in third and have traditionally reserved some of their worst performances for Liverpool. Last season they were humiliated 4-1 at home and have not won at Anfield since 2003. At least they seem unlikely to face their chief recent tormentor, Philippe Coutinho, who is recovering from an ankle injury. Coutinho has scored five goals in his last six games against them. They can also call on Sergio Aguero to lead their attack as he has completed a four-game suspension. Much will depend on how Liverpool's wobbly defence handles the Argentine although they possess plenty of threat at the other end with Adam Lallana leading the comeback in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Stoke City and Daniel Sturridge fit and firing again after scoring his first Premier League goal of the season.
