If Liverpool wins, it will take them 9 points clear on the first position but if they lose Manchester City wins will be just 3 points away from them and dropping points further would be risky.

Sadio Mane
Mane is undoubtedly giving the best performances for Liverpool in the recent few game-weeks and probably is one of the best players in the league this season so far.
Even in the last match against Aston Villa, the Senegalese International bailed out Liverpool from dropping points after he scored the last-minute winner.
He has been lauded for his determination and passion to win games for his side, and that is what made him perform all this while. Hence, we believe Mane will be the biggest key for Liverpool against Manchester City.
He is an even bigger requirement for the Reds, as their star player Mohamed Salah has been out of form recently but Mane’s brilliant performances had not let it affect.
So, Mane is definitely a player, who can change the game on their own, as the 27-year-old player boasts 10 goals and 5 assists in the 16 games he has played for Liverpool across all competitions this season.
Kevin De Bruyne
Manchester City’s midfield is explosive because of Kevin De Bruyne’s quality passes and balls that make several easy goalscoring opportunities to the attackers.
With the Belgian international in the peak of his career. He is certainly a decisive option for Manchester City against Liverpool on Sunday. Provided De Bruyne is also good in spot-kicks and has decent finishing, Jurgen Klopp will have big trouble in controlling him.
Presently, De Bruyne has been able to bag 2 goals and 10 assists in 14 games he has played across all the games this season. If Manchester City wins, there are chances that he would be having a crucial role in it.
Raheem Sterling
Sterling is in splendid form and has been creating numbers for the Citizens ever since the season has started. His goal-scoring proficiency has certainly helped Manchester City several wins this season.
His blistering pace and good positioning sense will make him the biggest threat to Liverpool in the upcoming game. Sterling would be a key figure to look at as the 24-year-old player is returning to his previous stadium to play against his former side.
Sterling has amassed 14 goals and 5 assists in the 16 games he has played so far across all the tournaments this season. Hence, surely a lethal player in full form will be against Liverpool, who are also in great form.
