The view from Man City
City fan Matthew Radcliffe gives us the view from the Etihad ahead of Sunday's clash at Anfield.
Looking forward to a trip to Anfield?
Not sure. 3-0 at the Baggies? I'm sure there'll be payback demands from the home crowd, though I think now's the best time for us to play you, while you're going through the 'teething' period with a new manager. That was some Swansea team to be fair.
We're likely to hear...
You will probably hear Blue Moon, the Mancini song and 'Championes, championes, ole, ole, ole'...of course.
Best way to beat City?
Counter attack, without a doubt. More than likely from a City corner or last third attack. We're not great without the ball: sometimes there are a lot of blank faces looking at each other (they're probably just wondering how much the other lads are earning compared to them).
Who makes City tick?
Never thought I'd say this but big Yaya Toure. You should have seen us at times when he was off to the African Cup of Nations.
If you were City manager for the day, you would...
...have taken the whole squad to all those gold medal events at the London Olympics and said: "There you go boys, that's desire and passion to win."
Liverpool players you rate?
Lucas Leiva. He was the only player I saw last season who kept Yaya Toure quiet in the 1-1 game at Anfield. The other player I rate is Luis Suarez, his movement in the box is incredible.
Have you recovered from last season's final day yet?
I played the DVD again just this weekend and cried as standard. My knees still hurt from where I dropped to the Etihad deck that Sunday. To be fair, that night in town, a United fan came up to me and said: "I'll give you that one, I had that same feeling in 1999 in the Nou Camp and no-one can ever take that away from you." Must have been the same for you boys in Istanbul - what a night, and you made me £120. I'd practically written-off that tenner!
Best thing about being a City fan?
Whilst stadiums, players (and their wages), and general successes are changing, us fans aren't. Still negative and skeptical as always but it gets us out of the house for a few pints and a bag of chips.
And the worst?
That famous line from Forrest Gump is City nailed on: "You never know what you're going to get".
Prediction?
Goals for either side, but I think we may just edge it. I'd be happy with a score draw.
