“That is a good game. Both sides have great attacking talent and I hope we will see an exciting match,” Berbatov is quoted as saying by Metro.
“Last time out Leeds surprised us all against City and I think they can serve it up to Liverpool, but Klopp’s side will be desperate for the points to get into the top four so I will go with a draw.”
