LIV Vs MNC: Match Preview, Kick Off Time, Team News, And Possible Starting Lineup

 

 

In a clash that promises to be a defining moment in the 2023-24 Premier League season, Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola will share a warm embrace on the Anfield touchline for the final time in the league.

 

 

Only one place and one point separates the two titans after 27 games of the 2023-24 season, although Arsenal could knock both sides down a spot before Sunday’s headline encounter

 

Match Preview

 

 

 

As the Premier League title hangs in the balance, Arsenal lurks in the shadows, ready to upset the current order and potentially knock both Liverpool and Manchester City down a spot before the much-anticipated showdown commences.

 

Liverpool, riding high on the momentum of Darwin Nunez’s 99th-minute header against Nottingham Forest, currently holds the coveted top spot. This dramatic victory not only secured their first Premier League win at the City Ground but also etched Nunez’s name in history with the 10th latest winning goal since data became available.

 

 

However, Liverpool’s defensive vulnerabilities are evident, with only one clean sheet in their last nine home affairs. Having witnessed at least three goals in six of their last seven Anfield contests, the stage is set for an equally potent Manchester City to capitalize and disrupt Liverpool’s title aspirations.

 

Guardiola’s side, despite being stunned by a Marcus Rashford rocket against Manchester United, displayed resilience with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland leading a comeback. The Citizens, aiming to win the title for the fourth consecutive times, remain a formidable force in the title race.

 

Kick Off Time

 

 

 

The match is set to kick off by 4:30 pm GMT+1 on Sunday and will mark the second meeting between these two sides this season.
