In a special edition of the Essential Football Podcast, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher joins Ron Walker to discuss this weekend's crunch title-race clash as leaders Manchester City host second-placed Liverpool live on Sky Sports Premier League this Sunday.
It was a match between two very good sides. In the second half I felt we took them to certain depths and really nullified their opportunities.

The club have been owned by Farhad Moshiri since 2016 and the Iranian businessman certainly cannot be faulted for his financial backing, having already spent over half a-billion pounds on transfers since his £200m takeover in 2016.
It is about running, you have to run, Brendan Rodgers told BT Sport. We conceded a second goal here against Arsenal when we did not track the run.
Messi converted from the spot midway through the first half after Guillermo Maripan brought down Lautaro Martinez in the box.
Man Utd's next opponents Brighton also hit by Covid cases Brighton manager Graham Potter has revealed there are three or four positive tests among his playing squad, but their match with Wolves on Wednesday is not currently under threat.
His Chelsea team had some consistent flaws that made it simple for opponents to come up with a game-plan to exploit defensive errors and porousness between the lines. Newcastle followed that template and it worked perfectly.
Quizzed again ahead of a trip to Brighton on Tuesday as to whether change is required in order to get Lukaku firing, Tuchel told reporters: “No, I think we do everything to help him.
He has been fitted with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), a type of pacemaker, after suffering cardiac arrest.
Barcelona, however, would not rank highly among that list of memorable ex-clubs. For that reason, it is rather jarring to see Xavi's men take on Boca in Tuesday's Maradona Cup, a money-spinning friendly that does less to remember the great man than to expose the commercial manoeuvrings which he often fought against.
Klopp was full of praise for the Portuguese after the final whistle, and feels he has taken his game to a new level since his arrival from Wolves in September 2020.
If you then consider the brain, the head, the way players, staff members or coaches think is the most relevant one, then for me it is only logical to have the best possible expert from that area in your staff.

The 21-year-old has struggled to make an impact since joining United, with England boss Southgate admitting his form this season was not worthy of an international call-up.
The Spaniard joined PSG in July on a free transfer after ending a 16-year career with Real Madrid, but has been unable to play due to a long-running calf injury which led to him missing most of the previous season and Spain's Euro 2020 campaign.
The Spaniard did enjoy a strong start to his reign, leading Everton to four wins from their first six league matches, but he struggled to win over a number of the club's fans given his long association with Liverpool.
With Nathan Ake struggling with an ankle problem, the Man City boss said he is down to three defenders for three games.
Southampton's Stuart Armstrong - who is yet to play a competitive match this season due to a calf injury - has also been picked by Clarke, who said he has no reservations about his selections.
The hand is not in a natural position. Hull's Grant McCann: I thought we were excellent in the first half.
He's an incredible player, I had the great honour of coaching him. He associates easily with others. He knows how to do everything in the field. I hope he can be rewarded with this Ballon d'Or.
So much depends on the outlook of Robert Lewandowski. He is contracted until 2023 and it is unclear what the next step will be. If Lewandowski made it clear he wanted a transfer in 2022 then Bayern are almost certain to push hard for Haaland.
“What can he say? He will not say it to me but he will say it to my player – who will do nothing because he’s too nice. It was not a good thing by me, but I would still do it. That’s me. I’m not ashamed to say it.
Lloris' current contract is set to expire in the summer with the 34-year-old able to talk to foreign clubs from January 1 if a new contract is not signed before the transfer window opens.
Lastly, Van de Beek has been given a fresh chance under a new manager and failed to convince him too. If there is a wider malaise then you have to wonder at what point the players are willing to take the blame for eight years of chronic underperformance.
The French striker has joined the club on loan for the rest of the season, with GOAL able to confirm Sevilla was his preferred choice despite interest from a number of clubs, including Juventus.
The Birmingham City captain believes the current curriculum is failing children from ethnic minorities and commissioned a YouGov survey which found the majority of British teachers think the school system has a racial bias and only 12 per cent said they feel empowered to teach diverse topics.
Cash's energetic and attacking displays at right-back, as well as his stunning strike against Everton in September for his first Villa goal, have lifted his profile and, in turn, raised the prospect of an international career.
The Gunners have a lot of depth in that centre-back area. Simone Boye Sorensen, Jen Beattie and Lotte Wubben-Moy are all senior internationals in the position.
However, Barcelona are afraid of it becoming a case that could end up like Samuel Umtiti’s. He lifted the World Cup in Russia that summer but has never been the same player since.
I am going to defer to Statman Dave on this one. He told us in the Fantasy 606 podcast this week that we need to sign Richarlison - he has scored four goals in his last five games, had more shots than any player in that time and Everton still have five games to play.
It was the visitors who had the best chance of a forgettable opening period, Rey Manaj firing over after shrugging off Chris, while Aaron Ramsey had Wales' only shot of the first period, the false nine backheeling David Brooks' low delivery into the stands.
Barcelona were ninth when Xavi took over in November, six points behind Atletico - but now overtake them to move into the Champions League places.

Some wide players prefer to stay wide, but Martinelli gives opposition defenders problems by driving into the box, on or off the ball, as often as possible. Arteta’s attacking approach is all about the exploitation of half-spaces and Martinelli does this arguably better than anyone else in the Arsenal squad right now.
Cameroon coach Toni Conceicao has dropped Golden Boot prime candidates Karl Toko Ekambi and Vincent Aboubakar for the Africa Cup of Nations third-place game against Burkina Faso at Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde on Saturday.

Full-back Denzel Dumfries fired Inter in front and a fine solo effort from midfielder Marcelo Brozovic doubled the hosts' lead just before the break.
This was Norwich boss Smith's second defeat at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season after overseeing Aston Villa's 2-1 loss at the venue before being sacked last month.
But we're choosing to believe there's something even more basic at play here. How might one solve a problem like Newcastle, when you have all the money in the world? You follow the data. First you take a big list of all the available not-strikers and you sort by 'crossing'. Kieran Trippier. Job done. Then you take a big list of strikers and you sort by 'height'. Chris Wood.
