Manchester City take on Liverpool on Thursday in EFL Cup 2022/23 Fourth Round as the tournament moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for a win here.
Kick-off : 8:00 PM (Local)

Liverpool overcame Derby County on penalties in the third round as they reach here. The Reds almost won all games in the past month across competitions and look to carry forward the winning run.
They know Manchester City will be tough at home but they are a quality side to give their all. They will aim for a good solid defence and be enough attacking up front.
Manager Jurgen Klopp will go with the 4-3-3.
On the other hand, Manchester City overcame Chelsea 2-0 in the third round. City too won almost all games they played in last month. They will look forward to playing their brand of football.
Man City have defended well in the last few games and they will aim for solidarity. Attack wise they are quiet good and will look forward for the differentiators.
Boss Pep Guardiola will go with his 4-3-3.

Prediction
I think Manchester City will have extreme advantage from the off with their home conditions. But since Liverpool have challenged them in recent times a fascinating contest awaits. I expect City to get the job done winning 3-1 in the process.
