- Venue: Anfield
The two sides in the English top flight go head to head on Sunday afternoon as Liverpool play host to Pep's Manchester City.
Last season, Liverpool had to stand by as City and Arsenal battled for the title, but the Reds are now back in the competition. Jürgen Klopp’s squad has already bagged one title this season and is heading into the next weekend’s match with a seven-game winning streak. This includes a 5:1 triumph over Sparta Prague in the first leg of the Europa League’s round of 16, even without the participation of key players like Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Contrary to the expectations of many who thought Manchester City would ease up after their maiden Champions League victory, coupled with the FA Cup and Premier League triumphs last season, the Citizens remain thirsty for more. The squad, under Pep’s leadership, secured a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 6-2 aggregate victory over Copenhagen during the week. Should they triumph over Liverpool this weekend, a fourth consecutive league title could be well within their reach.
