Liverpool current problem with 1 point will threaten them not to win a trophy this season. Man City was quick to catch up, I still remember when the difference was still 5-6 points and Liverpool was at the top of the standings. no one would have thought that Pep Guardiola would prepare ammunition in a crucial match so that the result of 1 point would be a big reference for defending the trophy again.
So for Man City to pose a threat to Liverpool they only need to maximize their next match namely against Man United. It is very interesting that the Red Devils are faced with a club that is ambitious and with Man City current motivation it does not rule out the possibility that Man United needs to be ready in every way to provide tough resistance and prevent Man City from winning 3 points.
It is predicted that Man City will continue to threaten Liverpool until the end of the season, even though next week they will face city rivals, Man United. Fulham victory over Ten Hag fleet at Old Trafford yesterday was a signal that Pep and his team are likely to be able to achieve similar results. If Man City manages to win over The Red Devils, Ten Hag will certainly be depressed again and have trouble sleeping, although currently there are concerns about City lack of aggressiveness in scoring goals.
Statistically, City is the favorite, especially as they will act as hosts. In the meeting in the first half of the season, Man City managed to beat United 3-0, and a similar prediction could happen in next week match. The defeat to Fulham makes United chances of reaching the Champions League places increasingly slim, and next week City has the potential to add to Ten Hag suffering by handing them their 11th defeat.
Liverpool and Arsenal will face relatively easy opponents, so their chances of getting full points are quite big. unlike City, United might be able to turn things around surprisingly even though they are not favourites. basically, United has the attributes to trouble City, but Ten Hag troops often play below expectations.
