LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 12: Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker during the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Brentford FC at Anfield on November 12, 2023 in Liverpool, England.

That is the case once again this time around.

The fact that the match is taking place as one of the first kickoffs following an international break is disappointing, but that does not sour the importance of the fixture for both.

City have looked vulnerable at times this season and Liverpool have not been invincible either.

However, I think both sides cancel each other out and share the spoils to being the winter swing.

Prediction: Liverpool 1 Manchester City 1

Liverpool hosts Fulham (Dec. 3) – Following the titanic clash at the Etihad, Liverpool welcome the feisty Cottagers to Anfield.

While this is a step down in terms of opposition, Fulham have played the Reds tough in recent times so it won’t be a cruise through.

Saying that, I think the first League win of the winter comes in this one.

Too much firepower up top for Fulham to handle. Prediction: Liverpool 3 Fulham 1

Liverpool away to Sheffield United (Dec. 6) – This is where the fixture list begins to really get full.

Sheffield have struggled all year and I think that continues here. Prediction: Liverpool 2 Sheffield United 0

Liverpool away to Crystal Palace (Dec. 9) – A busy week ends with the Reds in London for a tricky affair with Palace.

Crystal Palace are a club that is set firmly in midtable status and they will probably play like it when Liverpool comes calling.

I expect a lot of counter attacks from both sides and a tougher fight than you might expect.

That being said, I think Palace make it difficult but the winter rolls should roll on with a narrow win for the Liverpool. Prediction: Liverpool 2 Crystal Palace 1

Liverpool hosts Manchester United (Dec. 17) – The final match in this five game stretch in the League ends with a familiar foe coming to town.

United have been an absolute mess this season and they are struggling with their identity.
