orbits collide between “The Blues” Manchester City and the “Reds” Liverpool’s matchday night this Sunday. It was considered the right place at the right time.
English Premier League football that seems to be “finished” since the beginning of January because Manchester City have a score above all teams by 2 digits, it turns out that today
The last 8 games left in the duel game, in the past 30 games, Manchester City have 72 points, just one point ahead of Liverpool.
Plus, the goal has been conceded that is an important variable. Liverpool ran over 5 goals.
equal to this match at the Etihad Stadium, so it is “Destiny” for the remainder of this season’s championship hunt is possible.
As for whether to “determine the champion” or not, please think according to your mood.
Fierce Strategies of the Great Leaders
Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp are seen as one of the best managerial duos of all time. By leading the team to raise the level until the other team “Too hard to resist”
in the Premier League era The most boiling match would not be Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, before the “third hand” Jose Mourinho came into trouble, of course, with Pep and Klopp being closely watched. More than ever since Klopp led the team to a close season in 2018-19, more than the last four years.
Straightforward, 3 seasons ever The first two times were raised one by one.
The team style is the same, 4-3-3, but the details of the game are completely different.
The easiest to understand is The main picture of Manchester City is that when they attack, following they will be 3 people by squeezing Kyle Walker at right-back to stand next to the center pair and let Joao Cancelo go up to the top area. From last year, it’s almost in the middle of the field. This year went to run cut in the penalty box.
On the Liverpool side, the main picture is that when they attack, following they will be 3 people with the move of Virgil van Dijk following a normal ball kick. Or playing a swing past will invite Joel Matip to move up to stand in the same panel as Fabinho, while the two backs will push up. especially Trent This year, play in a variety of formats. But the main part rarely goes inside. but stand to pick the target from the diagonal
It’s just different. This is not the middle of the page.
It is typical of modern football that “Mainly playing short balls”, which according to the BBC indicates that Manchester City play shorter balls. The statistics are 44% short balls and 15% long balls.
Liverpool short ball statistics 37% and long balls 19%
Both teams are in control of the ball. and have fun chasing rivals Will notice that City’s ball dominates more than Liverpool, but the ball will be spread out on the side first, while Liverpool’s ball will move forward faster.
Pep seems to be focusing on ball possession first and foremost. The interesting thing is that this season City passed the ball in the box as number 1 and the person who came in 2nd was not anyone…Liverpool.
Giving the ball in City’s box without looking at the numbers. We can see with the naked eye that In the first chart, Kevin De Bruyne will be center-right. But he tends to show up on the left edge of the penalty area that City use to squander their opponents by playing. “Group ball” rather than on the right side of yourself. Which will be the ground over there being the Liverpool side that Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joel Matip have to deal with. Make the right midfielder of the swans very important
Jordan Henderson hasn’t started three games in European competition and may have come on as captain. But unfortunately, Naby Keita will have to fall off. While playing at the top in the draw stroke Along with a sudden change of defense to an offensive at a distance that is more accurate than Hendo for many years.
This is a good thing that Liverpool have developed in the story. “In-depth player quality” has come up following being inferior to City for many years, even the championship year (2019-20). Until this year, we’ve seen that The option to enter the field in the middle of 3 people, in front of 3 people.
There are 6 vacancies in this position. There are 9 players to choose from of the same quality on each side.
An excellent substitute will change the taste of the game.
Manchester City had a problem with centre-half when Ruben Dias was injured and Pep insisted he might not play. Making the way of play possible, John Stones, who killed the dream of kicking a 11.7mm cross in the game in 2019, will play alongside Aymeric Laporte, with Ederson Moraé. S guards the post, who will be measuring his skills with Alisson Becker directly, while the right-back is Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo.
Three midfielders have been booked, Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne.
Forward three, Raheem Sterling, who has been trusted over the last three matches the team has played in, is likely to be booked with Phil Foden.
Now that there are two positions left, Pep will have to choose from Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, Jack Gliric, Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus.
Liverpool were initially rumored to be undisputed but without Roberto Firmino at the training ground on Friday. But he is probably an option that is inferior to others in the offensive game during this time with the full body.
Alisson will guard the post, the ball from him this year is very important. When opening the ball from more than 36 yards more accurate than before. It is another offensive weapon from the defensive line. As for the back four line, Joel Matip will be used as planned from European football, with Virgil van Dijk in the center half position. Of course, right and left must be a pair of assists like Trent.
Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson
Then it’s the same as Man City, that is, a central option with a role to choose from, 9, but can play 6.
Midfielders for sure are fit Fabinho (with a head injury, not a leg injury from the wrong knee slide) and Thiago Alcantara.
Three forwards, Mohamed Salah is the first choice. even though he can’t shoot But his play was dangerous. and the impact occurred along the way Another player to play is Sadio Mane, who should be playing to bring back the left and right balance. Or put it in the middle, it’s dangerous. which he himself is not different from Salah because he can’t shoot but asks Who’s not afraid?
With two places remaining, Klopp will be picked from Naby Keita, Jordan Henderson, Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota.
So don’t be too serious regarding who will start because 3 more substitutions can be key for the decision in this game if the “first plan” doesn’t work or doesn’t have the desired effect.
Let’s talk regarding head-to-head goodies.
Pep and Klopp have the most closely matched manager stats.
21 games that have been measured since the days of military control in Germany until today in the British Isles It turned out to be exactly the same as Pep won 9, Klopp won 9 and drew 4 games.
The first eight games were once morest Germany, before Klopp arrived in England in late 2015, with Pep coming in the following summer, 2016.
The statistics of the two teams’ all-time meetings, “Reds” are definitely dominant, starting in the league with 82 wins, 44 draws and City wins 45. As for the statistics in all competitions, Liverpool have won 90, City won 48 and drawn 50 matches.

The troop came to the nest of the sailboats. It’s not easy for Liverpool in the Premier League era, if only Klopp manages the army to beat City once in a big 4-1 victory on 21 November 2015 following serving a month and a half. But that time City’s manager was Manuel Pellegrini.
Then draw 2 and lose 3.
But during that time, they won the Champions League on 10 April 2018 with a score of 2-1.
Laughter and the actual statistics of the referees.
As soon as the Premier League announces the list of referees who will act It is widely criticized as ever.
Anthony Taylor will serve as the on-field referee, while Paul Tierney will take charge of watching VAR.
that has been greatly criticized Because these two were born in Manchester!!!!
Taylor is from Waitenshaw and Tierney is from Salford, both from Greater Manchester.
This year, Taylor may not be much, but Tierney’s time as a referee this year has made a lot of heroism, directly affecting Liverpool.
For example, the game that went on to draw with Spurs 2-2, who refused to fire Harry Kane, or the game where Man City beat Everton 1-0 and did not say Rodri handball until it was a scolding story. big together
However, when going into detail The referee and VAR controller in the league game of “Big 6” in the VAR era joined the decision, namely these two.
The Premier League have chosen what they consider refereeing options to work in the most reliable big game for Manchester City vs Liverpool.
Taylor made 20 decisions and Tierney 12 in charge of VAR.
Try knocking out Taylor’s statistics, it turns out that Liverpool are not as bad as they thought in a duel with two teams from Taylor’s hometown.
24/10/2021 Manchester United 0:5 Liverpool,13/05/2021 Manchester United 2:4 Liverpool,02/07/2020 Manchester City 4:0 Liverpool,03/01/2019 Manchester City 2:1 Liverpool, 17/10/2016 Liverpool 0:0 Manchester United and 03/02/2013 Manchester City 2:2 Liverpool.
It means that the statistics are 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, plus the statistics keep getting better and better.
In addition, Taylor and Tierney have worked together and refereeing Liverpool, having been on the pitch as a referee and viewer of VAR for the past two games.
The cuts show Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Spurs in 2019 and a 4-2 win over Manchester United in 2021.
So it shouldn’t be regarding “fingertips” and “lips”.
Should have left it at “footsteps” and “fate” more!!!!!
