Daniel Sturridge vs Vincent Kompany
These two are guaranteed to start and whoever comes out on top is likely to go a long way to deciding the match. When presented with a decent chance, Liverpool’s Sturridge normally scores so City captain Kompany will have to be at his best to prevent the England star getting a yard. The Belgian is arguably the most complete defender in the Premier League but with Luis Suarez to worry about too, he will have to hope his defensive partner Martin Demichelis, who is susceptible to pace, is also at the top of his game.
