BBC Sport pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Liverpool and Manchester City will have to settle for a point apiece in their showdown at Anfield this weekend.
The two sides clash on Merseyside on Sunday, Liverpool currently sit atop the Premier League with City a point behind in second.
Their respective positions suggest that it will be a tight affair between the two title rivals.
However, last season City won 4-1 at Anfield after a shocking performance from Reds keeper Alisson.
Former Liverpool defender Lawrenson believes the two sides will cancel each other out this time in a 1-1 draw.
"I don't see a similar scoreline (4-1) this time," he told the BBC.
"Liverpool look stronger now than they were then. They have hardly made any signings but their injured players are all back and they have now got real competition for places right through the team - like City do, really.
"Manchester City lost to Paris St-Germain in the Champions League in midweek, but they still put in a good performance.
"That Champions League group game was by far the least important of a big week for City that started with a brilliant win at Stamford Bridge, and ends at Anfield.
"City will be right at it again here, but so will Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp's side were not up against anyone of the same sort of quality in midweek, but they basically just swatted Porto away.
"I am at Anfield for this one and I can't wait - these games are played at such a fierce intensity and are usually decided by fine margins."
