Carragher opened his analysis by explaining why Liverpool's firepower may give them an advantage over City.

Liverpool have the slight edge in attack and in terms of goals per game," he said.

"We talk about Man City not having a striker, but the goals are still absolutely phenomenal.

But Man City's top scorer is De Bruyne with 11, and for Liverpool it's Salah with 22. There's a big difference.

Man City obviously spread the goals out a bit more, but the numbers in terms of their top scorers show Liverpool have a big advantage in attack."

He added: "If Man City are to drop points, it would be down to the fact they could have games where they fail to score.

"Man City have failed to score in four games this season - Liverpool only one - and they have only scored once in seven games too, so that's 11 games where they have scored one goal or zero goals.

"So, you think, if Man City are going to drop points, it must be from a 0-0, there's been evidence of that this season in games that we've seen."
