With Sunday's showdown at Anfield, the Reds will never have a better chance of leaving the defending champions in their wake.
It's the champions versus their closest challengers. The Premier League's dominant force against the contender that's suffered most at their hands. Too often Liverpool has fallen to Manchester City after a season-long battle, only once managing to come out on top—that moment coming at a time in human history where nobody was allowed to fully enjoy it during the pandemic.
Liverpool has enjoyed an incredible week. Conor Bradley crunching Kylian Mbappé and Caoimhin Kelleher saving Mbappé's penalty helped Liverpool pulverize Real Madrid under the Champions League lights, exorcizing demons that have built up over 15 years. It was three points in Europe but a night of revenge for Sergio Ramos injuring Mohamed Salah's shoulder, Gareth Bale's overhead kick, Vinicius's tap-in in Paris, the 5–2 in 2023 and even for transfer market defeats.
Bradley picked up an injury which will keep him out of City's visit Sunday. With Alexander-Arnold in line to return, it'll be a welcome sight to bring one of the world's finest players back into the fold after an injury of his own. However, the trend is that whoever wears red on that pitch at the moment can do no wrong. Liverpool has won 17 of 19 under new boss Arne Slot, has a perfect record in Europe and is eight points clear at the top of the.
Therein lies the opportunity of change. Sunday is Liverpool's chance to leave City in the dust and effectively eliminate the title defenders from the title race with only a third of the season gone. In any other year it would bebut their fall has been alarming. They may still be second in the table but everything looks different. They look old. Their intensity has dropped. Theyand as a result they cannot seem to fix the same problems that keep appearing.
This marks the first Premier League season under Pep Guardiola where City have conceded more big chances than it's created . Its lowest differential in any of the eight seasons prior to this is +64. It creates at a usual rate but are far easier to transition through and is facing 1.2 shots on the counter attack per game this season, more than any previous year under this manager.
