JAKARTA The Premier League match after the international break immediately presented an exciting match. Clashes occurred between Manchester City and Liverpool.

The duel between the two teams in the 29th week of the 2022/2023 season will take place at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England, Saturday, April 1. Kickoff or kickoff or kickoff starts at 18.30 WIB.

The top two teams last season were both pursuing targets, but with different missions when the season was about to end.

The Citizens are trying to close points with leaders Arsenal. Meanwhile, the Reds are struggling to finish in the top four of the final standings.

City are currently still filling second place in the standings with a collection of 61 points. They are eight points behind the Gunners who sit in the first position, but have played one game more.

Thus, City's hopes of defending their title are clearly still wide open. The title in this competition is one of three titles they can fight for along with the FA Cup and the European Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's side hosted Liverpool on good terms after winning their last six games in all competitions. That includes five of their sensational wins without conceding.

Two of the six wins were RB Leipzig 7-0 and Burnley 6-0. In these two big wins their star Erling Haaland performed brilliantly and bought up a total of eight goals scored by City.

However, the victory over Liverpool in all competitions has been difficult for City in recent seasons. This season they have even lost two of the three meetings against Jurgen Klopp's team.

However, City's home performance in the English Premier League against Liverpool is quite good. The reason is, City have lost only once in their last 13 meetings against Liverpool in England's highest caste at the Etihad Stadium.

If able to get maximum points against Liverpool, The Citizens have won a total of four Premier League games in a row for the first time this season. Good results will also put pressure on Arsenal at home to Leeds United some time later.

Predictions of the line-up:

Manchester City (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Ake; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Bernardo, Haaland, Grealish

Coach: Pep Guardiola

Liverpool (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Elliott; Salah, Gakpo, Nunez
