The Reds have won only twice in their last eight games of Football, placing them in 11th place, and manager Jurgen Klopp has already declared that they are “not in the title chase.” On the other hand, after nine games, the defending champions City are undefeated. But if the Reds can destroy the form book at Anfield, this game might prove to be a turning point.
Klopp’s team enters the contest fresh off a stunning 7-1 victory against Rangers in the Champions League.
Following the humiliation at Ibrox, Klopp stated, “It alters the tone obviously, and that’s fantastic.” “We are all aware of the Sunday visitor. It is better to address it with how you felt tonight, even though that will be different.
While City is soaring, Liverpool is suffering with its form. Since Liverpool defeated City 3-1 in the Community Shield on July 30, a lot has changed. This season, Liverpool has only won two Premier League games—both of which came at the end of August, within a span of five days. They defeated Bournemouth 9-0 before defeating Newcastle 2-1 with a goal in the 98th minute.
They are currently three points behind Bournemouth, which demonstrates how far they have fallen since then. Since finishing seventh and missing out on qualifying for Europe in 2012–13, their eight Premier League games and 10 points represent their poorest eight-game total.
