Bobby Seagull: Ali v Frazier. Mariah v Whitney. Newton v Liebniz. Napoleon v Wellington. Betamax v VHS. Nandos v MaccieDs. Alien v Predator. Other epic match ups? Well tonight: Man City v Liverpool. A clash for the ages with maybe the Premier League title on the line
David Freeman: As a United supporter I am torn as to which team I want to win. Notwithstanding that, looking forward to a good clean football game.
Cal Hayes: As a man utd fan choosing between Man City and Liverpool is like choosing which toe you want to stub on your bedroom door... Let's just hope for an entertaining game.

Olly: As a neutral tonight I just hope that come the end of the game we are talking about the amazing football we have watched and not a shocking decision or an error by the ref or his assistants
Aaron: Gonna commit footballing heresy tonight and say a returning Milner shouldn't have made the starting XI over Fabinho. Been very impressed by Fabinho's game just lately.
Ash: Utility rooms are very useful. Look how useful it has been to Liverpool having a utility room called Milner in the squad.
Fancy James Milner to be very useful around the house. Washing, cleaning, ironing all sorted with great enthusiasm...

Palpable tension in the air. Nervous energy.
Let's have an early goal or two, yes?

Joe Venable: Gut feeling: if Liverpool don't win today they won't win the league. If they do, I'd put them at 50/50 (as, I should add, a Liverpool fan). Talk of City's demise is greatly exaggerated.
David Freedman: My gut tells me City will be nervous and will play scared.
Jon: Really looking forward to this game but as a lifelong City fan from Stockport, I think that Liverpool will be too good for us today.

Manchester CityCity could lose consecutive Premier League home matches for the first time since February 2016. Pep Guardiola has never suffered successive top-flight home defeats as a manager.

Don't you start! What's so good about a utility room?!

Why would you not want a Utility room? Once you get one, you can't do without it. And a 2-2 draw is on the cards.

Ex-Spurs and England winger on BBC Radio 5 liveJames Milner could play centre forward, right midfield, left midfield - I bet he could even play centre half.
He's one of those players who gets a 7/10 every week.

James Milner is 33 tomorrow. He's back in the Liverpool side tonight. WHAT a Premier League player he has been.
Stick him anywhere.

Ex-Spurs and England winger on BBC Radio 5 liveJurgen Klopp has players he can bring in. Naby Keita hasn't really set the place on fire.
Georginio Wijnaldum is Dutch and has been coached the right way, he's a very clever and underrated player.

Image source, ReutersLiverpool have gone from being the hunter to the hunted and when you get in front you have to enjoy it, not be looking over your shoulder.
There are only two players in the current Liverpool team that have won the Premier League - Daniel Sturridge with Chelsea in 2009-10 and James Milner twice with Manchester City - and experience helps in situations like these, but in Jurgen Klopp they have a manager who is a winner and that is where he will take charge.
Players like defender Virgil van Dijk are at that point in their careers where they are taking ownership for what is ahead for them. They are desperate to win major trophies.
