Manchester City and Liverpool will lock horns at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday, April 1. The blue side of Manchester, who are the defending champions will face their arch-rivals Liverpool, who have been poor this season. In the Premier League standings, the Reds are currently on the sixth place while the Citizens have managed the second place.
Liverpool were knocked out in the UCL Round of 16 against defending champions Real Madrid while Man City defeated RB Leipzig to qualify for the UCL quarter-final, where they are set to face Bayern Munich.
Klopp’s side are struggling with injuries to many of their key players and their team is especially lacking in the midfield. It's the 55-year-old’s seventh season at Liverpool and a recurring trend of the German coach's flopping in his seventh season as shown in his time at Mainz and Dortmund. Darwin Nunez has largely failed to live up to his hype and Salah hasn't had his best season. If Klopp’s men have to beat one of the best teams in the world in City these two have to be at their best.
On the other hand, Guardiola has set the standards so high at Manchester City that being in second place is considered an average season. The Citizens are eight points behind Arsenal in the second place with one game in hand and they hope to close this gap with a win against the Reds. Erling Haland and Phil Foden are expected to miss the Liverpool tie as the Norwegian missed the training ahead of the match while the latter recently had his appendix removed.
Head to Head :
- In a total of 176 matches played between them, Liverpool has won 81 while Man City won 46 matches and drew 46.
- In their last 10 matches, Liverpool have dominated the fixture with four victories while City won three matches and three ended in draws
- The last 5 games have been incredibly close as three out of the five games had a margin of just one goal and one of them was a thrilling 2-2 draw
