(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – Liverpool’s clashes with Manchester City have become the Premier League’s modern classic in the era of Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, but Sunday’s clash at Anfield could already spell the end of the Reds’ title aspirations.
Both clubs have shared the supremacy of English football over the past five years, with City twice edging thrilling title races over Liverpool by a single point in 2018/19 and last season.
But a run of two wins from their opening eight Premier League games has left Liverpool 14 points behind leaders Arsenal and 13 adrift of City.
Guardiola’s men are unbeaten in 13 matches since with Haaland failing to score only once in his short Premier League career.
But City has only won at Anfield once since 2003 and that was in front of an empty stadium in February 2021.
“I expect them to be at the best Liverpool possible, obviously they lost some points but they are still Liverpool and I expect them to be good.” Kevin De Bruyne told Sky Sports.
There was at least some relief for Liverpool in a 7-1 demolition of Rangers in the Champions League on Wednesday as Mohamed Salah came off the bench to score the fastest hat-trick in the competition’s history.
“It changed the mood completely, but we all know who we are welcoming on Sunday and this will be a different game,” said Klopp after putting the Glasgow giants to the sword at Ibrox.
