Liverpool take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 11 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, October 16th at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool are currently in a difficult situation. Ironically, the recently beaten 9-0 Bournemouth are higher in the table. The title contender now only closes the top 10 of the current Premier League standings. Jurgen Klopp has already said that his players are not participating in the title race. Which is understandable: even after a pause for the games of the national teams, it was not possible to add. At first, in a merry duel, only a draw with Brighton was completed at home. And Sunday's shootout brought a 3-2 victory to Arsenal. Before that, there was 0-0 in the Merseyside derby. True, the German said that he would not put up with the situation with his wards. However, the focus can be shifted to the Champions League, where the Reds feel good. Although there were misfires. Most likely, now the Reds will switch their attention to the Premier League. There, the backlog from the Gunners has already reached 14 points.

Manchester City, it seems, will again fight only 1 competitor in the domestic arena. In the Champions League, everything has already been decided up to the spring play-offs. But in the Premier League, for now, they have to stay in 2nd place - misfires affect in the form of draws with Newcastle and Aston Villa. Arsenal have won 8 matches out of 9 and continue to hold the lead. However, it is unlikely that Mikel Arteta's wards will be able to withstand such a pace throughout the season. But the stars of Pep Guardiola look very solid. Suffice it to recall that in October the derby against Manchester United was won 6-3 and Southampton defeated 4-0. Of course, one cannot but mention Erling Haaland again. The Norwegian has already scored a dozen goals in the English championship. Such giants as Chelsea and Manchester United could not collectively score as many, they have 13 each. However, the main thing now is to prove themselves against a potential competitor.
Last season head-to-heads in the Premier League were reduced to draws, and 2-2. But after that, the Reds won the FA Cup semi-finals in the spring, and started the new season with 3-1 in the Super Cup. Bookmakers don't believe in Liverpool. Perhaps, taking into account the "Haaland factor", we agree that Manchester City should win.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win.
