The matches and championship races of Liverpool and Manchester City over the last ten years have become anthological, practically only over 90 points guaranteed the title, and the new derby between the "Reds" and "Citizens" unexpectedly already in December could bring answers to many questions in the Premier League .
It's time for another spectacle at "Anfield", Liverpool and Manchester City will play a super derby of the 17th round from 13:XNUMX.
Fans of the greats from the city of the Beatles are dreaming of plus 11 compared to the great rival and another unforgettable performance just four days after the European champions Real Madrid were demolished at the Liverpool temple.
On the other hand, the team that has dominated English football for the last four years wants to finally end the black streak of six matches without a win.
Arne Slott started his term on the Liverpool bench perfectly, but he is not fooled by the somewhat weaker form of his great rival.
- Siti is still a very good team, and one of the reasons why I think it is Pep Guardiola the best manager in the world is one who always comes up with solutions. So I think that he will come up with something again and that their form will come again - I hope after the match with us - said the Dutch expert.
He continued in a similar vein…
- Often when he brought something new to football, we all thought it was crazy, only to later say: That's brilliant, we should do the same. I wouldn't be surprised if he is coming up with something new at this moment - added Slot.
The man who definitely made a revolution in football this season experienced five defeats in a row for the first time in his career, and Feyenoord in the Champions League made him suffer even more, who reached 3:3 after losing 3:0... After that match Guardiola even injured himself, and now he believes that there is no better place to start a new story.
- Anfield is the perfect stadium where we can leave all our problems behind - the City coach is clear.
He also says that the moment his team is in is not good, but...
- Of course it's not nice, but what do you expect? That we walk the red carpet and that everything is simple. It's easy when you win ten games in a row, when everyone is in shape... When everything is going well, it's easy. That's why I have to prove myself now, when it's difficult - added Guardiola.
When it comes to history, the Catalan expert knows that he will have to prove himself on the most difficult field, since he only celebrated once with City at "Anfield" (2021, then due to corona without fans), while he celebrated in a total of 22 games against Liverpool on only six.
Can "Slot Machine" achieve probably the favorite victory of the season, a huge plus 11, or will the derby on the Mersa River herald the return of the mighty champion?
