We said: Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool

It would be typical if the footballing gods gifted us with a drab 0-0 in what has been billed as a pulsating encounter between two rampant attacking forces, and a stalemate would certainly lead to an intriguing battle for supremacy in the final few weeks. Liverpool's wealth of attacking options will not need a second invitation to take advantage of Dias's absence, but Guardiola has got one over Klopp more often than not in recent years, and we are simply unable to back either side to down the other with any real confidence - instead opting for an entertaining draw as the title goes down to the wire.
