The Premier League is back this weekend with a thrilling fixture list, headlined by a potentially title-defining clash between Manchester City and Liverpool on Sunday.
With Arsenal breathing down Liverpool’s neck, the Reds cannot afford to drop points at the Etihad.
The stakes are even higher after Liverpool’s midweek 2-2 draw against Aston Villa, which has given Arsenal the opportunity to close the gap at the top.
Manchester City vs Liverpool: A Title Race Showdown
Liverpool head to the Etihad Stadium knowing they have not won a Premier League match there since 2015.
With Arne Slot’s side unbeaten in their last 22 games, they will be looking to break that trend. However, Manchester City remain a formidable force at home and will be eager to derail Liverpool’s title ambitions.
Slot has urged his players to focus on their own game rather than worry about Arsenal. “We know how difficult it is to go to the Etihad, so we don't need Arsenal to get involved in that even more,” he said.
City, despite an inconsistent season, are still fighting for a top-four finish after their Champions League exit at the hands of Real Madrid. Pep Guardiola’s side will want to bounce back with a statement victory. Watch the game here
