You can really feel the intensity here in Manchester when the home team Manchester City takes against Liverpool and both teams are aiming to have the fourth place in premier league.

Great game tempo the first 5 minutes in a game where both coaches has put their best players on the field.

Both teams have had some dangerous chances but now after 13  minutes City have had some more, Darius Vassel looks sharper than ever at the top and looks really hungry to score. 

After 30 minues have both teams keeps up the high tempo up and down play style with Man C with most of the chances, but with feeling that Liverpools have been a little bit more dangerous sometimes.

Now after 40 minutes City has been really working for getting the lead in this game, running like maniacs for most of the balls. if just City got a little bit closer to goal I think Liverpool would be really shaky right now.

Halftime Standings: Manchester City vs Liverpool 0-0

Liverpool begins the second half the best with Fernando Torres getting ball between the legs of Joe Hart in the City goal but the ball passes the post. In the 50th minute the same Torres get’s fouled by M Richards in the City defense and Steven Gerrard gets a great chance to score but also this shoot misses the goal but just nearly.

After 60 minutes Liverpool has controled and pressured Manchester for the most of the second half, and City’s manager Sven Goran Eriksson looks really unsatisfied and substitutes out Stephen Ireland for the young swiss Gelson Fernandez.

Erikssons change have given some calm in to the game from Liverpools side and City is now back in the game, and now in the 67th minute he is hoping for even more luck when he’s waiting for the refeere’s call to bring Rolando Bianchi in.

In the 70th minute Manchester’s second substitute come’s in Bianchi for Elano, Elano who has been bleak the last two games since he have come back from his injury and the tempo in the game is still quite slow. None of the teams want to big any big mistakes to chance a goal in the back.

In the 75th minute we have double substitute and City’s last Harry Kewell

Darius Vassel for the brazilian Geovanni

In the 84th minute liverpools Torres gets the first yellow card of this game, and a half minute later Liverpool get’s one good chance and one great chance cleared away by City one the goal line and it’s very dramatic, and Liverpool keeps pressuring on the city goal.

Which gives City and especially Petrov counter attacks, and a free kick chance in the 87th minute which they doesn’t take.

90 minutes and the refeere declares a 3 minutes over time, which Liverpool uses the best but can still get it behind the net and the time is out.

Result: 0-0
