Manchester City vs Liverpool on April 10 is being tipped as the match to decide the Premier League. Sergio Aguero, however, does not see it that way.
The City legend played in 15 games against Liverpool during his time in the English top flight - with his final goal against the Reds arriving in a fixture that had huge implications on the title race. The Argentine was on target during the Sky Blues' vital 2-1 home victory during the 2018/19 season.
Next month's meeting at the Etihad between the teams is likely to be of similar significance, with only one point currently separating the two. But Aguero is of the view that it may not be season-defining.

Providing his view on the current state of play at the top of the Premier League, he told Stake : "Every time that Manchester City and Liverpool have played against each other in the last few seasons, the matches have had a huge amount of importance and are crucial for the title race. We're talking about two teams that have dominated the Premier League landscape lately. They're both consistent, and that keeps it very tight at the top of the table.
"The match at City will be key in the title race, but it’s important to remember that there are still more games ahead and anything can happen. A result for either team will be really favourable, but don't ensure it’s a decider – anything can happen in the Premier League. A team that is seemingly weaker can turn the tables on the biggest clubs at any time, that's the nature of the Premier League and why it's such an appealing competition all over the world. The title is only settled on the last few games of a season."
Jurgen Klopp's side have closed the gap on the Citizens in recent weeks following a couple of surprise results for their rivals. Tottenham Hotspur earned a victory at the Etihad last month, while Crystal Palace held the reigning Premier League champions to a goalless draw last Monday.
Commenting on his old club's recent run of results, Aguero added: "I don't think that City’s form has been going down. You can lose points because of some minor things, but City are having a terrific season. Their defence is hard to break through and they are always trying to score and have racked up plenty of wins. Their rivals are always going to be right with them too, and many added strong additions in the January transfer window has helped them play a lot better. I think this City team is committed and fighting on every front."
