With a victory over shaky Manchester City on Sunday, Liverpool may come a huge step closer to winning just their second English Premier League title in 35 years. Ruben Amorim wants to win the Premier League for the first time as Manchester United manager. Chelsea, who visit Aston Villa, and Arsenal, who play West Ham, have the opportunity to close the gap in the top-of-the-table match at Anfield. Ahead of this weekend’s events, AFP Sport identifies some of the main talking points:
The Reds, led by Arne Slot, enter the weekend on a high note after defeating Real Madrid 2-0 to take the lead in the Champions League standings.
With just 12 games played, Liverpool has jumped out to an eight-point lead in the Premier League and has not missed a beat.
In Premier League history, all three clubs who had a lead of eight points or more at this time in the season went on to win the championship.
The city is yours to take.
Manager Pep Guardiola, who is going through the worst run of his career in the dugout, claims that the English champions are “fragile” both psychologically and physically after going winless in six games.
“For us, this season has been, is, and will be difficult. For various reasons, we have to accept it,” he stated.
City’s last victory at Anfield in front of an audience was in 2003, and even at their finest during a great spell under the Catalan, they have struggled to subdue the stadium.
