Liverpool or Manchester City? It is not only a question of who will win the title but is one Fantasy Premier League managers are considering as they plan their squads for the final two Gameweeks of the season.

Over the last nine Gameweeks, Liverpool have averaged over a goal a match more than Man City, while Pep Guardiola's side have produced seven clean sheets.

In the same timeframe five Liverpool players have scored more points than City's top performer.

"Over the course of the season Liverpool players have been more reliable, and Jurgen Klopp has been more assured and predictable in his team selections," says expert David Munday on the FPL Show.

"But now that City are out of the Champions League we know the team they are going to play."

Fellow expert Danny Jamieson adds that while City have tightened up at the back, they are still producing chances galore.

This is why he has included Sergio Aguero (£11.9m), Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) and Aymeric Laporte (£6.2m) in his team.

“In those 11 games City have only faced 16 shots on target, so defensively they are outstanding,” Jamieson says.

“And going forward they have created 161 chances, in those 11 games, 20 more than Liverpool."
