Sturridge has recaptured his form. He likes the big stage and is being compared to City's Sergio Aguero as the match looms. Sturridge has a slightly higher strike rate than Aguero with their current clubs. Only once have both men scored in the same game. This game is going to get stretched, and City's advantage is in the midfield. Liverpool must use their pace which means Sturridge getting into dangerous areas.

Liverpool's unbeaten streak continues and City still can't get a win at Anfield. City will temporarily close the gap with Chelsea to four points with the table toppers idle this weekend. It will be a fun one to watch though as defenses are stretched. A 3-3 ending is possible.
