At 0:30 am on November 9th, Beijing time, the highlight of the 8th round of the Premier League will be officially launched at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester City. And their opponent in this game is their old acquaintance Liverpool. The strong performance of Liverpool and Manchester City in the past two seasons has dwarfed other big6 teams. Liverpool and Manchester City are also now the well-deserved champions of the Premier League, but Manchester City's performance in the new season is obviously not as bright as Liverpool.
Manchester City are 5 points behind Liverpool in the standings. Compared to Liverpool, which has the strongest attacking power in the league, Manchester City's performance on both ends of the season is not the best. In the opening stage, the team's two major centers, Aguero and Jesus, were injured and Manchester City's main lineup was deeply affected. In addition to this game, Manchester City, in addition to the absence of two centers, Fernandinho and Mendy in the defense will also be absent due to injury. However, the injury situation within the Liverpool team is not much better. The team's three major defenders Van Dyke, Fabinho and Matip are all absent due to injuries. Z1z
Klopp has said before the game that Thiago will miss the game, and Liverpool's injuries are mainly concentrated in the midfield. The Red Arrows are strong on the front line, and the team's new aid Ruota has made remarkable achievements. Liverpool's offensive end does not have too many problems, so the overall impact of injuries on Manchester City is greater.
Manchester City recently won three consecutive victories after defeating Olympiacos in the last round of the Champions League group stage, and Manchester City did not lose a goal in three games. However, relatively speaking, Manchester City's opponents have a low gold content. Sheffield United, which ranks first in the league, is hardly their opponent.
And the two opponents of the Champions League group stage, Marseille and Olympiax, although they have experience in European wars in recent years, they rarely have nothing to do with themselves. The huge gap in strength makes Manchester City's win look also expected. , So the strong dialogue between this game and Liverpool is the real test for Guardiola. Liverpool has won 5 consecutive victories recently. In the last round of the Champions League focus with Atlanta, Liverpool beat their opponents by five goals in the away game. New aid Ruota completed a hat-trick in 54 minutes, and Liverpool's offensive state is so hot.
believes that even in the away game, after Manchester City lacks the support of the fans, Liverpool can also occupy a greater initiative in the game. And after the end of the game, both teams will usher in a period of rest. So this time the two sides are bound to go all out, optimistic about Liverpool 2:0 Manchester City away.
