The hours are ticking away now. Every minute, we are coming closer and closer to the ultimate showdown. Eve though we are only in March, Liverpool against Manchester City on Sunday already feels like a title decider.
Whoever wins the match will have a huge advantage in the title race. Victory will simply secure fate in your own future. That is why Liverpool will be desperate to get all three points against Pep Guardiola’s side.
This is Jurgen Klopp’s final season in charge of the club. It would be fitting to bow out with a strong result against his old nemesis, and also with one more Premier League title in the bag.
But it won’t be easy. This Manchester City side are in great form right now, and has some exceptional players. Including Erling Haaland, who is one of the best forwards in the world right now.
According to Gabriel Agbonlahor though there are two players at Liverpool who will really relish taking him on this Sunday.

Speaking on talkSPORT, former Aston Villa forward, Gabriel Agbonlahor, revealed he thinks both Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk will enjoy playing against Erling Haaland on Sunday.
“I think as well Konate and Van Dijk will enjoy that challenge of Haaland. They love a physical challenge, Konate and Van Dijk,” Agbonlahor said.
He might have a point. Erling Haaland will put up a formidable test for Konate and Van Dijk at the weekend. However, there should be no qualms over the Liverpool duo. They are more than capable of holding their own.
They will one hundred percent be ready for the challenge ahead of them. It promises to be a special encounter at Anfield. Let’s hope Liverpool can get the right result.
