The two most impressive teams of this Premier League season meet this boxing day. Manchester City may be the better team on paper, but Liverpool can come away from the Etihad with all three points for the first time this season, and here is why.
Luis Suarez
It may be a little stupid to say that one player can be the difference between two top clubs, but when it’s a player of Luis Suarez’s calibre, it is completely justified. The Uruguayan has been as impressive as a player can be this season, hitting 19 goals in 12 Premier League games. Manchester City’s weakest spots are their defence and their goalkeeper, which will be put to test when they come up against the Uruguayan hit-man. Brendan Rodgers has taken Liverpool back to the top, bringing back the lost glory and also giving a soulless squad grit and determination, though Suarez is still the main reason why the Reds find themselves on top of the league.
