Manchester City is looking to keep their momentum at home, as they welcome Liverpool, who are looking to steal their spot in the league table. These two teams are just next to each other in the league table, but Man City is the better team. They are currently at the top with 28 points, but Liverpool have the chance to steal their spot. A win in this match will give them 30 points, making them stand at the summit of the league table. Additionally, these two teams are coming into this match with confidence, as both are unbeaten in their last matches. Although Man City ended their winning streak, they had a 4-4 draw against Chelsea. On the other hand, Liverpool is from a 3-0 dominating win against Brentford. The meeting between these two teams is on November 25, 2023, at 8:30 PM (GMT+8).
Manchester City
Man City faces Liverpool in a Premier League match, with the goal of equalizing Sunderland’s record of 24 consecutive home wins. Sterling scored Chelsea’s second goal, but Palmer scored an eight-goal extravaganza in the second-half injury time. Despite netting four times, Guardiola’s men lost their five-game victorious sequence, leaving them just one point clear at the summit. The upcoming opponents are Liverpool and Arsenal, who could also face Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa. Man City has scored at least three times in each of their last five contests, and no English team to visit the Etihad in the Premier League this year has emerged with their pride intact. Their overall winning streak in front of the home crowd stands at 23 matches in all tournaments.
Erling Haaland remains to be a doubt here, following the ankle injury he sustained during Man City’s win against Bournemouth. Moreover, Ederson, Nathan Ake, and Sergio Gomez are all needing another assessment before this match. De Bruyne, Kovacic, Stones, and Nunes, are all announced as unfit for this match.
Liverpool
Liverpool, are now the closest challengers to Man City for glory at the Etihad. They have Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota for their current silver medal position. Alisson Becker’s goalkeeping heroics were crucial in a Liverpool home win against Brentford. Liverpool’s next priority is to improve their record of just one win on the road, having failed to prevail in any of their last three top-flight away contests and not keeping a Premier League clean sheet on their travels since May. Liverpool’s defensive vulnerabilities have been a concern in their last two trips to the Etihad, where their EFL Cup crown was ripped from them in a 3-2 defeat last December and a 4-1 defeat in April. Not since November 2015, in Klopp’s eighth game in charge, have the Reds left the Etihad with a Premier League win to shout about.
Liverpool is not safe from injury concerns, as they are also without their several players. Alcantara, Bajcetic, and Robertson, are all expected to be unavailable here due to their injuries. Ryan Gravenberch, Joe Gomez, Curtis Jones, and Ibrahima Konate are all expected to return here.
