The top two teams in the Premier League standings will face each other on Sunday.
League leaders Liverpool are flying high after winning 17 of their 19 games this season, while Manchester City are suffering their worst form since 2006.
They haven’t won in 6 games and Pep Guardiola is struggling to inspire his team this season.
Slot is mounting a title challenge in his first season in charge and has completely changed the mood at Anfield.
The Reds struggled under Jurgen Klopp at the end of last season but now look like a completely different team.
Troy Deeney has made a surprising prediction about the game at Anfield. It might not have been surprising in any other season, but given the form of both teams, it’s a “strange” prediction from the football pundit.
Deeney, keep writing talkSPORT.comhas stated:
“I think City will be better organised.
“I think this is the perfect game for them. I know that’s a weird thing to say.
“Liverpool have just beaten Real Madrid so their fans are excited. But this is the first time Man City have been underdogs in a game for the bookies. So everyone is writing them off.
“I think they will be more together, more solid. I can see them making a cut, 2-1.”
The football pundit’s prediction seems unusual at the moment, but given how Man City have performed under Guardiola in recent years, he may have a point.
Deeney added: “People were saying to me today, Arsenal are more favorites to win the league than Man City, and Man City are second.
“I don’t know what’s going on. And they still have the best striker in the world, right? I’m confused.”
Liverpool can expect a tough battle against Man City
Man City cannot be written off because they have the best manager in the world and one of the best teams.
Their players know how to win crucial matches and have all the experience in the world to do so.
Liverpool are currently eight points clear of Man City and a win will take them 11 points clear of the Premier League champions, which could end Guardiola’s side’s title hopes.
