Anfield is the battle ground for the desicive Premiership League match between two formidable foes in the round leather game Liverpool welcomes the Citizens , Manchester City in the English Premiership League Game week 25 to either close the gap or drop points from either team at the summit of the table against temporary league leaders , Arsenal who after yestedays humbling of over ambitious , Blak Cats , Sunderland with a 3-0 defeat at the Emirates stadium .
Liverpool enter match week 25 with four places and eight points worse off than Manchester City in the premier league table but with an identical record from their last six games , one loss , four draws and one win .
Liverpool have had four straight stalemated games and huge loss to Bouremoujth , then after they massacred the Magypies , Newcastle United 4-1 despite coming from behind in the early minutes of the match from an Antonio Gordon s early lead which they could not sustain .
It was a bizzare performance after a five star outing against PSG in Paris 1-1 , it seems that they forgot their defensive prowess in the French Capital , only to come to the United Kingdom their fortress to concede four whooping goals , with strikes from Hugo Florian’ and Ekitike led pummelling inspired the reds to a devastating 4-1 win after falling behind earlier in the match from Anthony Gordon’s early strike , which was not enough for a win or even a draw at Anfield .
They still remember vividly their come back instincts in the Premiership this season that started watching back in 2024/2025 season during the reigns of Jurgen Klopp which they carried over till this season with Arne Sloth , with a statistics of 28 come backs wins after conceding first .the fourth most in the league .
Liverpool striking ability so far have been evident in their men s booth as they have racked up 15 goals so far in all competitions in their last four games , putting six past champions league minnows , Quarabag of Azerbaijan , and two past Bouremouth , as well another three against Marseille in another champions league cracker .
Despite their four wins and serial scoring ability so far the top five is still wide away from them , though they begin the game week , with two points behind Manchester United and one point adrift from Chelsea , but as Brentford got a better part of Newcastle , Saturday 2-3 , it’s still a problem for them in the league , while the Blak Cats, Sunderland , could not survive the Gunners revenge mission , as they were dismembered like a village team with 3-0.
For the second week running , the Gunners are capitalising on the Citizens flaws of not winning enough to clear their line at the summit of the top flight in the Premeiship League this season , their lot have seen lwoes of outright loss or hapless draws , dropping points as well as conceding goals both at home and away with their greatest undoing being their away performance where they have conceded two goals each per match
Presently Manchester City have fallen six points behind Gunners who have been far from being flawless this 2026 season and to add more casualty to their growing list of beaten teams , they rough rided a well informed and tactically well equioed , Leeds at Elland Road , 4-0 away from hike last weekend
Already the Gunners have done the needed damage ,Saturday against the Black Cats at the Emirates , 3-0 which have further put City s quest for the title this year in the cooler with maximum 9 points clear .
Can City recover on time to sbansh the title as they have done in previous four seasons back to back , ,it’s just a matter of time and in few hours time if they can over come a Liverpool team that have recovered from their slumber early in the premiership this season ..for their latest Man City hate watch , after a regressing Tottenham Hotspurs put an unexpextrd dent in the Sky Blues title aspirations in an engrossing 2-2 draw in London
Almost cruising to victory with Rayan Cherki and Semanyo s strike , the Citizens went to sleep and allowed former Liverpool striker , Dominic Solanke put two past then in a wonderful brace for him .
They have dropped points in five of their last six Premeiship matches and with Arsenal s win against Sunderland , Saturday , 3-0 , and their fortunes have further nose dived and with their very poor away results , Guaediola s troops are winless in their last three matches ,and conceding at least two goals each on those matches
Despite their dismissing of the Magypies 3-1 in the English Football League semi finals where they will meet league leaders again Arsenal in the finals at Wembley and their 3-0 win against Liverpool last November , meaning that they are 90 minutes away from another Premeiship double against the Reds .
Predictions .
Liverpool are likely to take advantage of City s recent road failures , defensive frailties as well as fatigue from mid week matches to nail the coffin to Guaediola s title chase
Though City will also put up a gallnat fight to play a catch with the rampaging ,Gunners team who have been so invisible since the start of this season in all competitions , , we will know this in few hours time at Anfield which is better prepared to do the damage to either side and also maintain the status quo ante and reckoning and give Asrenal a hot chase as the season is gradually coming to an end with less than 15 games remaining
All the same we expect a good match from both sides as well goals
.Liverpool 2-1 Manchester City Or 3-2
Happy Viewing and Happy Subday
