A big win in UCL can be a motivation to play better for Liverpool players. And playing at home can be an advantage for Liverpool players, they may feel more comfortable and confident.
Their clubs and their players have reputation to protect so with big clubs that are in crisis, big matches are good opportunities but challenge too, for them to win and flip their form from bad to good. This Super Sunday is such a chance and challenge for Liverpool.
However, Man City is the strongest team in EPL and they never got a loss until now. Also, Man City has many top players who played at their best level during this season.
However they are not perfect. We see even in matches they won big, their defense was broken 2 or 3 times. They can not blame that it is because they already won big and Pep admitted that he was not happy with such conceded goals.
This can be a big challenge for Liverpool to steal points from them. To be honest, I am not sure that Liverpool can win against Man City, the possible result may be a draw. It will depend on how good Liverpool defenders play. If they can play solidly, Liverpool can expect to get a point. But if they play poorly, Haaland, Bruyne, or Foden will destroy Liverpool with big scores.
Liverpool can beat Manchester City if City's defenders make stupid mistakes. However, Liverpool also have to secure their defense, especially the position of Trent Alexander Arnold. He is one of weakest positions in Liverpool defense in this season.
So far Erling Haaland is a very terrible player because he has very good ball possession and when he gets the ball he often scores well, when Manchester City is met by Liverpool it will be a nightmare because Liverpool will surely be defeated by Manchester City.
He was inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo and he is very professional to take care of his body. Good speed, good intention to run and find open space, good ability to convert key passes to goals. And this season, he is playing at Manchester City where he is given so many key passes. The season has yet met its half but Haaland already scores 20 goals so far. He will be another Messi and Ronaldo who can score about 50 goals each season.
