Everton

Liverpool confident in the first match in the quarterfinals of the Champions League but have already beaten 5-0 at the Etihad stadium this season, they know that the work is not finished. So they will go into Saturday’s game with one eye on what needs to come next week.

Manchester City
The Manchester Derby has taken on greater significance for the city after their disastrous result at Anfield on Wednesday evening. PEP Guardiola said that he will rotate his side for Saturday’s game at the beginning of this week, but he can afford to miss the opportunity to win the Premier League title in the city Derby with Champions League hopes hanging in the balance?
With 16 points at the top of the table, the coronation city as Champions of the Premier League is a formality. But winning the trophy at the expense of Jose Mourinho “Manchester United” will go down in history. It would make them the earliest title-winners in the era of the Premier League and to emphasize their superiority over local rivals.
It should also give Guardiola’s side a much-needed boost after setbacks in the Champions League mid-week. Saturday’s match is their chance to remind everyone how good they were this season and create some momentum for the second next week’s match with Liverpool.
“Manchester United”
As Jose Mourinho will not miss the opportunity to spoil the party for Manchester city. To avoid defeat at the Etihad stadium would have altered the course of this season of the Premier League, but, laying aside that, “Manchester United” and Mourinho wanted to avoid a historic humiliation.
