    Riyad Mahrez has a hug and a joke with several members of the Leicester backroom staff as the two sides troop off the field.

    Will next year be a big year for him at Manchester City?

    I have a nice job, lovely wife and beautiful son. So as an Evertonian I am begging City not to make me leave that behind to go and live somewhere in the most remote part of Africa for 25 years. Come on City.

    I have been at Manchester City's past three games and they have been able to step things up in the second half if needed. I am sure they will do that again if they have to.

    Prediction: 2-0

    Liverpool fans watching on nervously tonight will take heart from the performances of Leicester of late - ever since Brendan Rodgers returned to the Premier League, in fact.

    Five years on from his own brush with title glory with the Reds, can Rodgers make the difference this time around?

    It has been an interesting mix of sunshine and showers in Manchester today but, if you want a weather report specifically for the Etihad Stadium then I can tell you that it has been raining goals here since August.

    City have hit 99 here in 28 games in all competitions, at an average of more than 3.5 a match and, with only tonight to go, are yet to draw a blank. There's a challenge for Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel, then....

    Here's the full breakdown of City's home goals in 2018-19:

    • Premier League: 56 goals in 18 games
    • Champions League: 20 in 5
    • FA Cup: 12 in 2
    • Carabao Cup: 11 in 3

    So much attacking talent to enjoy there - and as an added bonus Mike Dean is behind the whistle.
