A crucial match for Liverpool

This Premier league weekend brings us a couple of interesting and crucial matches. Let’s take a look at two of them:

Liverpool vs. Manchester City-
Liverpool host Manchester City in a match which will determine the rest of the former's season. In recent seasons, Liverpool's focus was set on the Champions league. It seemed that all Rafa Benitez was aiming for was to win the Champions League, and if this wasn’t enough – he saw the Premiership as a way to qualify to next season’s Champions League. Winning the title wasn’t as important to him as seeing Liverpool drawn to the groups stage of the Champions League.
Alas, it looks that only a miracle will get Liverpool to the Round of 16, and although miracles are quite fond of Liverpool, we find it hard to see this happen. At the same time, Chelsea have opened an 11 point gap from Liverpool at the top of the table and Liverpool’s season is so bad so far, that they find themselves 6 points adrift a Champions League spot. Since Manchester City are also fighting for a place in next year’s Champions League, Liverpool face a must-win situation here.

Sunderland vs. Arsenal-
Sunderland, which show great form since Steve Bruce took over, play against Arsenal. Arsenal play the most exciting football this season and if Sunderland want to keep their run and challenge for the Europa League spot, they will have to take some points from Arsene Wenger's talented team.
According to the bookies, Sunderland chances to win the match are not high, with odds of 6.2 it seems like no one really thinks they will take all 3 points. Still, this looks like a good way to make some money if you really believe the Black Cats are capable of producing a shock result…
