Ang Manchester City-Liverpoolmatch matches, didn’t disappoint anyone and showed why today there is no match in the world of football that can offer more than the opposite Pep Guardiola’s team with Jürgen Klopp. A tribute to football. because it’s over 2-2 at the Etihad, the struggle between the two for the Premiership remains the same: a point advantage for City, seven games ahead where the calendar is more difficult for Liverpool, who so far have a goal difference in their favor: + 57 for ‘reds’ and +52 for ‘citizens’. The goal difference is the first tiebreaker if there are equal points at the end.
With the rest of the Premier League, Guardiola’s City don’t have to face any ‘Big Six’. Of course, apart from Tottenham and Liverpool, the other two teams where the Catalan coach’s team failed this season. They’re not great: Crystal Palace (who won 0-2 at the Etihad and at Selhurst Park, 0-0) and Southampton 0-0 and 1-1).
The Wolves (date to be confirmed), Brighton, Watford, Leeds, Newcastle, West Ham and Aston Villa are City rivals in the latter part of the Premier. They will close the tournament in front of Villa of Philippe Coutinho and Steven Gerrard, Liverpool legend. The ‘hammers’ of David Moyes and Declan Rice will also be a test for Guardiola. Because of that point of advantage and because their calendar is more affordable, at least a priori, the City emerges as a favorite. But anything can happen.
The Liverpool calendar begins with, historically, great classic of English football, his match against United and then come nothing less than the Merseyside derby against an Everton led by Frank Lampard and fighting for permanence (now 4 hours from relegation). Newcastle, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Southampton and Wolves are their other opponents.
As for City-Liverpool on Sunday, here are some keys to the game.
De Bruyne, simple MVP
The Belgian midfielder, who was named MVP of the match, is the brightest in City-Liverpool. He not only scored the first goal for Guardiola’s staff. This is the common thread of the ‘citizen’ defense-attack transition. He led the City well., With the second goal coming from Gabriel Jesus.
Liverpool’s ability to react
That, as the game was presented to them, the ‘red’ team managed to equal City’s advantage twice, first by Diogo Jota and then Sadio Mané, said it all about what Liverpool did. He survived the siege of the City.
Alisson, beaten but at the same time savior
Twice the Liverpool goalkeeper agreed, but he certainly prevented City from scoring more and perhaps deciding the game. The ‘reds’ suffered when the ‘citizens’ attacked Alexander-Arnold’s back. For his band Liverpool suffered defensively.
Football at maximum intensity
City-Liverpool went back and forth, as fast as expected, an irreplaceable clash of styles. Guardiola’s team took another gear in many sections and did better in the first half, with somewhat more direct football than normal for him. But certainly for that reason it has more merit than Liverpool, who have had ten consecutive wins, not beaten at the Etihad and whose Premier is still alive.
