Key party for leadership
For Manchester City, this confrontation will not be nonsense against its greatest rival. Pep Guardiola’s team wants to end up attacking the leadership of the Premier League and putting pressure on Liverpool is important. Jürgen Klopp’s men, continuing with a firm step, cannot relax.
For the citizens, this match will be the prelude to a match that could end up deciding the English first division. The next day brings Liverpool vs Manchester City, and if the locals win today they will be able to depend on themselves to become leaders.
4 points behind the Reds, the Manchester team will also have a date with the UEFA Champions League in between, in which they will play at home against Copenhagen after winning 1-3 in Denmark.
After Liverpool… will come Arsenal. Little rest for Guardiola
