LIVERPOOL HAVE A SECRET FORMULA TO FRUSTRATE MAN CITY'S ENVIABLE FIREPOWER

The latest meeting between two of the finest coaching minds in the business could offer an indication as the direction both will be moving from this point, although the fourth game of any season cannot be considered a way of judgement overall credentials. For Liverpool, their discussions while heading down the M62 will be dominated by a desire to take something from the game and move onto the next.
A point at the Etihad would be no bad thing for them, and would serve to heighten a sense of frustration for the hosts – with Everton having already returned to Merseyside with a share of the spoils from Manchester this season.
Recent history dictates that the Reds will leave with something to show for their efforts, with a formula found which allows them to contain City – to a degree - and give themselves every chance of claiming tangible reward.
At Anfield, Liverpool have dominated throughout the Premier League era, with just one defeat suffered way back in 2003.
Things have not always been as straightforward on the road, but the last few years have seen the Reds become a serious thorn in the side of a City team which continues to invest heavily in creative and goal scoring talent.
