On Thursday night, the fourth round of the EFL Cup will pit the English powerhouses Manchester City and Liverpool against one another at the Etihad in the most recent chapter of their rivalry.

In order to advance to the fourth round, Pep Guardiola’s team eliminated Chelsea from the competition, while the Reds needed penalties to defeat Derby County in the round before them.

With a poor start to the season, Liverpool is currently in sixth place in the Premier League standings. The Merseyside team will attempt to repeat its four-goal performance against AC Milan from last week by scoring in this game.

On the other hand, Manchester City, who currently hold the second spot in the league standings, are involved in a compelling competition with Arsenal for the Premier League championship. The Cityzens defeated Girona easily by a score of 2-0 in their previous match, and they will attempt to repeat that feat this week.

It’s worth mentioning, Manchester City are winless in their last five matches against Liverpool and have lost their last three matches against the Merseyside giants in all competition.

Will the losing streak continue?  Or can Man City edge past their rivals at the Etihad!
