“You have the best team in the world and you put in the best striker on the market, no matter what it costs, you just do it. In the past few seasons, this has traditionally been a clash of the league’s top two teams. I know City will not like it, nobody will like it, you’ve asked the question, but you know the answer. The problem v City is if you close him down with too many players it opens space for other world-class players." Nobody can compete with City in that. Reigning champions City have started the season well and are unbeaten so far.
Liverpool host Manchester City in a proper heavyweight clash in the Premier League on Sunday at Anfield. Here's everything you need to know.
Right now it is tough to predict Liverpool winning this game but there’s something about Anfield on these occasions which gets the best out of this group of players. Manuel Akanji has been superb at center back and it looks like he may get the nod to start alongside Ruben Dias but it would not be surprising if Aymeric Laporte started due to his experience in this fixture. That means Joao Cancelo may move from left back to right back and Nathan Ake could slot in at left back or Sergio Gomez could start in that role. —– Rodri —– Silva —– Up top Salah will start on the right and then it’s a tough choice between Darwin Nunez and red-hot Roberto Firmino in the central role. These two teams have delivered games of the highest caliber in recent years as Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola have battled for every trophy going.
