119 Michail Antonio has backed Liverpool to beat Manchester City in this Sunday’s crucial title clash at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp’s men will be aiming to lay a marker down by beating the champions on home soil this weekend.
Liverpool currently lead the way as they sit just a point above Manchester City, with Arsenal just two behind.
It’s a fixture that rarely disappoints and with both sides once again firmly in the race for the title, it could have huge consequences in terms of this year’s winner.
Both sides head into the game in brilliant form, having picked up four wins from their last five league games.
And West Ham striker Michail Antonio is backing Klopp’s side to get the job done on Sunday.
Antonio backs Liverpool to beat City
Speaking on the Footballer’s Football Podcast, Antonio was asked to predict this Sunday’s crunch clash at Anfield.
“That’s a massive, massive game,” the Hammers star said. “I’m going to say Liverpool win and I’m going to go 2-1.”
Liverpool were boosted by the returns of Dominik Szoboszlai and Darwin Nunez at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
Of course, the latter came off the bench to net a dramatic last-minute winner. But it remains unclear whether or not star man Mohamed Salah will be fit enough to feature.
As for Alisson Becker and Trent Alexander-Arnold, both players look set to miss out on Sunday’s title clash.
There’s no doubt that Liverpool are thin in certain areas at the moment due to injuries to a host of key players.
And in our view, this may just give City the edge as Pep Guardiola has all his most important players to choose from.
Nevertheless, the home advantage for Liverpool could prove to be crucial and it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see Klopp’s side pick up a statement win on Sunday.
