Liverpool’s starting line-up
Man City starting line-up
Man City and Liverpool each created one of the most attractive championship competition in history in the 2018/2019 season when chasing each other to the final round. The blue half of Manchester was crowned with 98 points, just 1 point better than Liverpool (97 points).
This season, the drama of the competition between Man City and Liverpool is being recreated when coach Pep Guardiola’s team topped the table with 73 points, and Liverpool ranked after only 1 point.
Man City (blue shirt) and Liverpool win every point in the championship race
At one time, Man City was alone on the championship track with 14 victories in 15 matches between November 2021 and February 2022. Phil Foden and his teammates made a breakthrough at the Christmas and New Year period, which is the most fierce and tense in the Premier League.
However, when the schedule began to ease, Man City fell again. 2 previous draws Southampton and Crystal Palace, together with a stunning 2-3 defeats before Tottenham causing Pep Guardiola’s team to drop 7 points. At the same time, Liverpool exploded with 10 consecutive victories to narrow the gap from 8 points to 1 point.
Liverpool is entering the great war with Man City with high confidence. Although Man City has the home field advantage, it is Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and students who have hit the mark when they won continuously in the Premier League. In the last 10 matches, Liverpool won all 30 points and conceded only 2 goals.
Klopp’s team no longer plays rushing, pressing continuously “eating” the opponent, but playing just enough to win. Thanks to the physical calculation and reasonable drop point, Liverpool is rising right at the most important stage.
Salah (red shirt) is still Liverpool’s inspiration
Entering the great battle at 22:30 tonight, Liverpool only had Fabinho left open the possibility of playing, while Man City lost “rock” Ruben Dias by injury. The pressure will be on the John Stones – Aymeric Lapore duo of Man City, in the context of Liverpool’s attack always creating diverse and fast hits.
The high form of Luis Diaz (2 goals, 1 assist in the last 4 matches) and the danger of the duo Sadio Mane – Mohamed Salah are the inspiration of Liverpool at this time.
In addition, Liverpool can fully focus on the great battle with Man City because Klopp’s teachers and students won Benfica 3-1 away in the Champions League, leading to no pressure in the second leg.
Meanwhile, Man City only won Atlético Madrid 1-0 in the first leg and the second leg is potentially dangerous at the Wanda Metropolitano, so forces must be calculated to stabilize in both arenas.
De Bruyne helps Man City make a difference?
Man City kicked at the Etihad with the support of home fans, but sometimes it was a “double-edged sword”, putting Guardiola’s teachers and students under pressure if the match went in an unfavorable direction.
Man City can play more fluently, but Liverpool is a team of moments. In the first leg, two moments of Salah’s genius helped Liverpool regain 1 point, in the match Man City was the better team.
This scenario can be repeated in the second leg if Man City cannot limit mistakes, or is absorbed in raising the team to find a goal. Liverpool can win 3 points at Etihad to spark the overthrow of the opponent’s throne.
