Liverpool vs Man city: Guardiola seeks solution to City's crisis
Manchester City is in a six-game winless streak and confronts a major challenge against Liverpool this weekend.
He told BBC Sport: "Still, I think the intensity that Liverpool played with against Madrid will be too much for City, and I am expecting Slot's side to repeat that."
Sutton was particularly impressed with Liverpool's midfield performance, highlighting Curtis Jones' standout display against Real Madrid.
"Their midfield looks so strong and Curtis Jones really impressed me against Real."
"It's been a good week for Liverpool and a good season so far, but a win to send them 11 points clear of the defending champions would make it a great week and a great campaign, and that's what I am going for.
"They might not just beat City, they could take them apart like Spurs did."
