Man City knocked out Chelsea in the last round and now he will face another heavyweight, Liverpool. Riyad Mahrez and Julian Alvarez scored goals against Chelsea in that game. The latter is guaranteed not to start, after winning a final of the World Cup in Qatar. The English League Cup is in full glory, but the team has all the focus on the Champions League and the Premier League. In that order. The only trophy missing from Pep Guardiola's rich treasury of trophies. The form is not quite at its peak as Man City lost against Brentford, just before the World Cup break. The big problem this season is the lack of quality defenders, when Joao Cancelo or Kyle Walker do not play, one side is always weaker. The fact that there are also missing a lot of players who have played in Qatar is an interruption and we will see a much weaker Man City as it should be. Of course, Liverpool also has players who have played in the World Cup and who probably won't start. But there are also quite a few players who have returned to training and are ready to start. The reigning League Cup champions, who knocked out Chelsea on penalties in last season's final, have had a somewhat up-and-down league season. However, the form is good with two straight victories before the World Cup break, which came against Tottenham and Southampton. Last Friday they defeated Milan in a friendly 4-1, with Mohamed Salah and Thiago Alcantara netting a goal each, and Darwin Nunez netting twice. The Uruguayan must start scoring important goals as soon as possible and this game seems like a great opportunity for him to justify the big money that was paid to Benfica. Liverpool managed to defeat Man City at Anfield two months ago 1-0 in the league game. This time too, Liverpool will be difficult to break down. The guests have most of the players back and face a reserve-heavy Man City, the meeting feels completely open. Man City didn't impress me against Girona despite winning 2-0 and I believe Liverpool will not lose at Etihad. A draw looks like a logical outcome tomorrow, but I will take advantage of high odds on guests and play +0.5 on Liverpool.

曼城在上一轮淘汰了切尔西，现在他将面对另一个重量级的利物浦。里亚德·马赫雷斯和朱利安·阿尔瓦雷斯在那场对阵切尔西的比赛中进球。后者在卡塔尔世界杯决赛中获胜后，被保证不会首发。英格兰联赛杯正处于全盛时期，但球队的所有注意力都集中在欧冠和英超联赛上。按这个顺序。这是瓜迪奥拉丰富的奖杯宝库中唯一缺少的奖杯。当曼城在世界杯休息前输给布伦特福德时，他们的状态并没有达到顶峰。本赛季最大的问题是缺乏高质量的后卫，当若奥·坎塞洛或凯尔·沃克没有比赛时，一方总是更弱。事实上，也有很多在卡塔尔踢过球的球员缺席，这是一个中断，我们将看到一个更弱的曼城，因为它应该是。当然，利物浦也有参加过世界杯的球员，他们可能不会首发。但也有相当多的球员已经恢复训练，并准备好首发。卫冕联赛杯冠军在上赛季的决赛中点球淘汰切尔西，这个赛季的联赛有些起伏不定。然而，他们的状态很好，在世界杯前取得了两连胜，分别是对阵热刺和南安普顿。上周五，他们在一场友谊赛中4-1击败米兰，穆罕默德·萨拉赫和蒂亚戈·阿尔坎塔拉各进一球，达尔文·努涅斯梅开二度。乌拉圭人必须尽快开始打入重要的进球，这场比赛似乎是一个很好的机会，让他证明付给本菲卡的高薪是正确的。两个月前，利物浦在安菲尔德以1比0击败了曼城。这一次，利物浦也很难被击溃。客人们已经迎来了大部分球员的回归，面对着预备队重兵的曼城，会议感觉完全开放。曼城在对阵赫罗纳的比赛中并没有给我留下深刻的印象，尽管他们2-0获胜，我相信利物浦不会在伊蒂哈德输球。明天的平局看起来是合乎逻辑的结果，但我将利用客人的高赔率，对利物浦打+0.5。
