Pre Match: Manchester City v Liverpool , Thurs 3/1 20:00 KO

There's no point tuning into the game later folks...

Super computer predicts Man City vs Liverpool result… and reveals WHO will end up on top

Stats geeks at Football Web Pages have come up with a formula that works out the chances of each possible result in every game left this season in the Premier League.

There is a percentage likelihood of each match resulting in a 'home' win, a 'draw' or an 'away' win - predictions which are re-calculated after every goal is scored.

And the calculations say Manchester City and unbeaten Liverpool will draw 1–1 at the Etihad.

Am I the only one shItting it right now? I am a nervous wreck. Can't think straight (& I don't mean sexually). Can't do the work.

I would take a draw now just to save my ticker which is pounding even now. I may not be able to bear it at the match time.

Relax. Virgils got this....

Couple of me mates are all chilled and relaxed and giving it the 'if we lose we're still top' chat. Will be a completely different story once the games has started! Working from home but have turned of SSN so I can actually concentrate. It's gonna be a hell of a game, have a feeling it's gonna be 2-2. Would happily take that!

Relax. Virgils got this....

Does anything phase big Virgil? Coolest man on the planet.

I think we'll win, I'm going for 1-3 to us.

I've looked over Christmas and New Year celebrations due to this fixture. Takes the cake this. Does it take the cup? The league?

No. As there is still a long way to go, yet. Will we win? I have high hopes. Depending on what system Pep implements against us, albeit what Klopp's formation and midfield looks like tonight... then I think we're still favourites to win the game.

We've done the one thing we were never able to do in December, maintain consistency, pick up the points when the rivals drop. We're in the driving seat now. And the lads are good enough.

They (City) are hungry for a victory. Ours is 29 years long. Let's do the job and party later on. Is it 8PM yet?

Up the worthy reds.

Alcohol isn’t helping the nerves.

Rumours of Robbo not travelling because of wife in labour are surely BS???

Slippery slope mate with 5 hours to go, hope you’re still functioning come kick off

I thought she had already given birth but I could be wrong.

just try harder mate you'll get there eventually when you don't care about the result stop drinking and enjoy the game

yes it was from one presser, when Klopp was asked about new child from one of player, but can't remember which player was involved.

it was clyne child:
Klopp asked if Clyne has gone home because his partner is having "another baby". "Another one? I don't know about another one. Maybe he doesn't too! But yes, he's gone home for 'the' baby. A boy, very proud, I exchanged messages with him over it."

Oh sh*t. I DON'T want to see Moreno against City (or actually any team in PL).

Calm down !....... calm down !...... calm down !

Nerves have not set in... yet. I think all of the pressure is on City tonight.

That's me ready and trying to stay off the beer can't wait for this 2-0 to the Red men

As a fan I hope not, but as a man off the pitch you can't blame him if he's with the misses.

Getting nervous now

Man would three points be huge tonight. Hoping for a famous win.

Robbo’s missus is/was due anytime.

If she’s in labour - fitba can wait.

Yeah, Football is just Football at the end of the day. I think we’ve to respect the players under these circumstances.

Wrong player, but the context is clear - Rio said his professionalism and desire to win was so strong that he missed Christmas, New year, and the birth of one or two of his kids. And sadly before family life could begin shortly before retirement, Rebecca died of breast cancer.
