Liverpool and Manchester City are set to clash at Anfield on Sunday in a highly anticipated match that could have significant implications for the title race. The two teams are separated by just one point in the league table, making this game crucial in determining the direction of the title race. A defeat for either side could be a massive blow to their title hopes, with Arsenal also hot on their heels.
Liverpool will be without key players such as Joel Matip, Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander Arnold, and Diogo Jota due to injuries. They are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation with Caoimhin Kelleher in goal and Darwin Nunez leading the line alongside Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. Manchester City, on the other hand, have a fully fit squad apart from Jack Grealish and are likely to play in a 4-1-4-1 formation with Ederson Moraes in goal and Erling Haaland spearheading the attack.
Both teams come into the game in impressive form, with Manchester City winning nine of their last ten matches in the Premier League and Liverpool remaining undefeated in 24 of their last 25 home matches against City. The match is expected to be closely contested, with the possibility of a 2-2 draw looming large.
One player to watch out for in this clash is Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez, who has been in scintillating form with 16 goals and 11 assists across all competitions. Nunez will look to continue his impressive run and help Liverpool secure a vital result against Manchester City.
Overall, the stage is set for an enthralling battle between two of the best teams in the league, with both sides eager to come out on top in this crucial title race showdown.
