Premier League 2019-20: 3 reasons why Manchester City will beat Liverpool this weekend

#1 Manchester City have been better in front of goal

For both club and country, Sterling has been outstanding in front of goal

Liverpool may be six points ahead of Manchester City on the league table, but it is City who has been more prolific in front of goal.

By looking at the two sides' goal difference we can see that defensively speaking they have been virtually equal, with Liverpool's nine goals conceded being just one better than Manchester City's 10. In front of goal, however, Manchester City have been far more productive with their 34 goals being nine better than Liverpool's 25.

It stands to reason that Manchester City will cause deep trouble for Liverpool's defense, as they have for every other club they have faced.
