Football: Premier League, 34th game week
Anfield ( Liverpool) will be hosting on Sunday, 13 April 2014, an Premier League, 34th game week match between Liverpool FC and Manchester City.
Liverpool, having
already played 33 league games, are sitting first in the table with 74
points and the record of 23 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses. They are now 2
points clear of the 2nd Chelsea and 4 points ahead of Manchester City.
Yet, as already-mentioned, manager Pellegrini’s men have played only 31
games so far. During the last game week the Reds travelled to London to
meet West Ham United. The game ended in a 1:2 win of Liverpool, yet, the
match was not free of controversial referee’s decisions. The two
Liverpool’s goals were both penalties, which were executed by Steven
Gerrard. After taking the lead in the 44th minute of the game, West Ham
scored a controversial game in the injury time of the 1st half. Then
with 20 minutes till the end of the game the Reds were awarded with
another penalty. Liverpool are unbeaten in the Premiership since the end
of the 2013 when they lost 2:1 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
- Probable lineups Liverpool: Mignolet – Johnson, Skrtel, Agger (Sakho), Flanagan – Henderson, Gerrard, Allen – Coutinho – Suarez, Sturridge.
Man City team are
in a pretty good position when it comes to the standings in the Premier
League table. They are now 4 points below the leading Liverpool but have
played 2 games less. During the last game week the Citizens hosted
Southampton. With goals from Toure, Nasri, Dzeko and Jovetic they
managed to outclash the Saints 4:1. Manchester took the lead very early
in the game with a Toure’s penalty in the 3rd minute. Yet, after 33
minutes Lambert (also with a penalty) gave Southampton an equalizer.
David Silva was probably the best man on the pitch. The Spaniard was the
key part in the majority of City’s attacks. When it comes to the recent
form, the Citizens won four out of the last five league games. They
dropped points only while visiting the Emirates Stadium – the game
against Arsenal ended in a 1:1 draw.
- Probable lineups Manchester City: Hart – Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy –Fernandinho, Yaya Toure – Navas, Silva, Nasri – Aguero (Dzeko).
