Manchester City took a deserved lead at Anfield midway through the first half when John Stones scrambled in the opener. After a dominant opening period, few could have begrudged the champions taking the lead on Merseyside. But the nature of the opener angered Liverpool supporters, who weren’t just angry at seeing City go ahead. Replays showed Nathan Ake shoved Alexis Mac Allister out of the way before Kevin De Bruyne’s corner was swung in. The Dutchman’s action created the space for Stones to be left unmarked for the goal and, speaking on Sky Sports’ commentary, Gary Neville was quick to…
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is ready for the challenge as he takes his team to Liverpool for a crucial Premier League title showdown on Sunday. The winner, should there be one, will go top of the table. Man City heads to Merseyside trailing Jurgen Klopp’s side by a point for a match of huge significance at the top of the table. Guardiola’s team goes into the game as favorite to win the title for what would be a fourth successive season, and a sixth time in seven years, but its record at Anfield is poor. City has won just…
Liverpool and Manchester City. Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola. The title on the line, a last meeting during the last dance. If nothing else, this narrative is manna from heaven for the broadcasters. But while we’ll no doubt be treated to the mother of all pre-match montages, the hype is somewhat justified. There’s no escaping the fact that this is a truly huge game, both in the context of Liverpool’s season and in the wider arc of Klopp’s long goodbye. There’s the significant caveat that this is not necessarily the last meeting between Klopp and Guardiola. A clash at Wembley…
Georgiy Sudakov is making waves at Shakhtar Donetsk and it comes as no surprise that Liverpool are interested in securing his services in the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Calciomercato, the young rising star, with his wonderful performances is attracting attention from other European heavyweights like Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Shakhtar Donetsk has signed a renewal that includes a mammoth release clause worth €150 million. Given that Shakhtar played hardball for Mykhaylo Mudryk, it is fair to say that they are unlikely to lower their asking price. Sudakov is a big fan of the Premier League…
A title decider? Arsenal will have a thing or two to say about that, but there is no doubt that if there is a losing team at Anfield this afternoon then they will face a long climb back to the summit of the table. Liverpool and Manchester City lock horns again in the latest instalment of the rivalry which has gripped the Premier League in recent seasons, with the Reds the only side to consistently tackle Pep Guardiola’s winning machine. Can they beat them again in what will be Jurgen Klopp’s last ever league clash with City? We asked our…
Liverpool are going to have to be at their best to take points from Manchester City tomorrow. After Arsenal’s win over Brentford this evening, the Reds are no longer sitting top of the Premier League table. The only way to claim back their spot at the summit is to beat City at Anfield. Thankfully, Liverpool are in fine form and have a great record against the champions on their home patch. They are also able to call on one of the best players in the division right now: Darwin Nunez. Nunez has scored in each of the past four matches,…
Liverpool are all set to put the first pieces of their summer rebuild into place. With Jurgen Klopp set to depart at the end of the season, the Reds are actively looking for the right man to replace him. Xabi Alonso is the heavy favourite, but there’s nothing confirmed in that respect just yet. But aside from hopefully snaring Alonso, Liverpool have been dead-set on bringing another former Anfield favourite back to the club: former sporting director Michael Edwards. Up until the last few days, it had seemed unlikely that Edwards would return. But a breakthrough now appears to have…
Tim Sherwood has said that Liverpool have no chance of beating Manchester City tomorrow. After the two sides won their respective midweek European games, they are now preparing to face off against each other at Anfield for their latest Premier League meeting. Despite both teams currently fighting to win the title, one pundit and former top-flight manager has claimed that only one side have a chance of walking away with all three points on this occasion. Speaking on Soccer Saturday, Sherwood had this to say about tomorrow’s big game. He said: “I don’t see Liverpool winning the game tomorrow, I…
When Liverpool won 4-2 at home to Newcastle United on New Year’s Day, they opened up a three-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. Aston Villa were second at the time, with Manchester City and Arsenal both five points behind the Reds to complete the top four. However, Pep Guardiola’s side did boast a game-in-hand on Jurgen Klopp’s men. Two days before that victory, MCity had won 2-0 at home to Sheffield United – having already recorded a 3-1 win away at Everton on December 27 when making their Premier League return after being crowned FIFA Club…
Liverpool transfer stories may soon no longer have to come with such a major disclaimer. Right now, it’s hard to see how FSG could be making any concrete plans without either a manager or sporting director in place for next season. But there is movement on that front. It seems Michael Edwards is primed to take up an overarching role, with Richard Hughes operating underneath him as the sporting director. A successor to Jürgen Klopp will hopefully follow in due course. Even with that position vacant, however, Liverpool is close to getting the sort of structure in place that will…
