Who would have thought that City would struggle so much under Pep Guardiola’s leadership? After starting the year with a bang and even leading the Premier League, the Citizens are now enduring a rough patch that seems endless. After a series of setbacks, the team was thrashed 4-0 at home by Tottenham, and in the Champions League midweek, another disappointing result: a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord at the Etihad Stadium, conceding three goals at the end of the match.
A loss on Sunday could be costly. Currently in second place with 23 points, City could see Liverpool extend their lead to 11 points and might even be overtaken by Chelsea, Arsenal, and Brighton, all with 22 points.
Liverpool, on the other hand, is in the complete opposite situation. Leading the Premier League with 31 points, the team managed by Arne Slot has 10 wins in 12 matches and is playing some of the best, if not the best, football in all of Europe. If they beat Manchester City, the Reds will extend their lead to 11 points over their rivals and nine points over second place, if Chelsea, Arsenal, or Brighton win their matches.
