Manchester City vs Liverpool
English Premier League, 1600 GMT

Manchester City under Sven Goran Erikkson have been quite incredible at home.
They've won their first nine games at the City of Manchester Stadium, 
scoring 17 goals and conceding just 5. 
However, they've drawn the last game there, 2-2, on Thursday, versus Blackburn.
Liverpool has been better away than at home this season.
Their spanish manager, who won a Champions League Final and played another one,
this year, both with the Reds, has shuffled his team through this season more than any
other manager. But, if you take in consideration that this is the clash for the fourth place 
in the standings, and the last one that guarantees Champions League football next 
season, then I'll be quite sure Rafa Benitez will field his best eleven, including the likes of 
Steven Gerrard and Fernando "El Nino" Torres. Liverpool won 4-0 at Marseille when
they needed to win. This kind of players just thrive for this kind of match-ups.
I predict an away win today, at the price of 11/10.
