Liverpool has a good game in hand, but it's far from Manchester United, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – who has won nine of his 10 games since taking control.

We asked our Football Saturday how they see the next three months – and here's what they said …

Paul Merson: the depth of the city team will tip the scales

I am with Manchester City. The Liverpool team looks superficial – no disrespect towards Divock Origi, but when you are chasing a match, like at West Ham, Origi is coming. I watch City and every player on his bench can transform a match. And this will wreak havoc during the season.

I feel for James Milner, an incredible midfielder who has to play at the back. And Liverpool needs his back sides, their way of playing is a huge factor that pbades a little unnoticed. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robinson are unsung heroes, as they bomb the wing and get centers, then defend themselves and all of a sudden, they no longer have this outlet because they do not Are not allowed. -return. And that means that Robertson is not so confident for the future.

They become unbalanced, while they have no talent in the midfield. It's very good to have a good before-three, but you have to give them the ball. You watch them (the first three) and there are not three players who will get the ball, then beat three or four players and score a goal. They must be integrated, or there must be movement.

So, I have to leave for City with their team – there is a lot of nervousness in Liverpool and I continue to hear 29 years now. I did not hear that at the beginning of the season, but in the last two weeks I've heard a lot about it.

I think it touched the players, the manager, the fans and the fans. Every home game must now look like a midweek Champions League game and one of those fields where no one wants to play.

Matt Le Tissier: I've never doubted City references

I supported Manchester City early in the season and I did not change my mind once this campaign was over. The strength of their team is going to be the decisive factor for me. The fact that they can change teams and it's always so strong without problems. Liverpool does not have the same options, especially with the upcoming Champions League.

If they suffer more injuries, Liverpool will be stretched. Henderson, right back, lamented that Clyne was gone. If one of the three players in front receives hits, the players will not be at the same level.

Phil Thompson: Liverpool still in charge

Even with the poverty of West Ham, we knew that they would roll up their sleeves and show their fans how good they were against the big guys. It's a little embarrbading to see how they show up for big matches, like Manchester United and Arsenal as well, and capitulate in some of the smaller games.

I think Liverpool is still in charge while it stays that way. They will face Bournemouth Saturday while City face Chelsea. The nerves are being shredded and losing four points in the last two games is not really helping. These are the performances.

I am a strong supporter of defense, knowing that consistency with training is useful to them and that it was their strong point: a guard at the back and a goalkeeper meaning more goals. Once the injuries were hit, they continued to change the four backs, then you change the dynamics of the side. You can see that.

The guys at the front – even though they did not score goals – you could count on the defense to keep the task safe, but they looked vulnerable. Possession was much ceded against West Ham, which was one of Klopp's strengths. The vulnerability of the whole has a lot to do with the changes in personnel.

Liverpool must regain consistency and intensity in his game. Bournemouth will seem to hit the break like Chelsea to be dangerous.

Charlie Nicholas: The city is more convinced than Liverpool

I stayed with City during the time of confusion and stay with them now. Many people have different opinions about it, but I think that City has a slightly larger clinical belief than Liverpool. Pressure plays a role in everything. I've played Liverpool's last two games and the reality is that they do not play as well.

City wins again now, but even against Arsenal, it was not easy – they still had to work hard. If they go up one or two in the first half, they could win five or six. Goal difference can become a big problem. It was good for Liverpool because their attackers were doing their job but now they have calmed down a bit and there is a vulnerability in the back, while City was vulnerable before.

Liverpool pulled two and everyone says he's going to bottle it. They do not bottle it, but they do not play well. I think City could potentially win every game he left this season. They have a tough trip to Manchester United, but I think they'll do it. I'm waiting for them to beat Chelsea on Sunday. Liverpool must travel to Everton and Manchester United, which could prove a harsher test for them. They discover that their form abandons them to the minute and because of that, I will say Ville.
