Today Liverpool and Man city will play the matches where both teams will win the match and in this case Liverpool will move to the 1st position while Man City will be in the 2nd position with 1 point difference. Man City are almost always better so they have more chances to win the trophy. Some teams in the Premier League can play better than Man City at times, but cannot maintain their performance stably. So always Man City is considered as a strong team
I don't know what match you mean, because what I saw today is that Liverpool will face their arch rival Manchester United in the FA Cup match in the Quarter Finals session. Yesterday Manchester City also won the match in the FA Cup which was also followed by Chelsea today who just finished winning the match at Stamford Bridge when they hosted Leicester City. So I don't understand why you are talking about rankings with a difference of one point, even though many matches in the Premier League have been postponed.
Manchester united has taken the lead early by scoring an early goal on the 10th minutes by MacTomminay. Whenever United scores first against a big team in the early minutes of the match, I don't use to have confidence in them.
It is 31st, and it is still 1-0. Liverpool is taking everything calm but the are waiting for the right time to strike, as they are not happy as they have not find the back of the post yet. It seems that United football is somehow different today, because their performance in this first half is encouraging.
Unfortunately, Liverpool are not ready to lose this important match as Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah cored two late goals to put Liverpool in the lead as at half time. This gets to show that Liverpool does not give up easily as they never walk alone, give it to team work!
If Liverpool continues in this direction of not giving up easily, they might just end up with two or three trophies this season as a goodbye package to their wonderful coach Klopp. Now they still stand a chance at the Premiership title, EUFA league and also the FA Cup. I have strong feeling that they will life one or two of them.
I wasn't that troubled when Manchester united got the opening goal of the game because I know Manchester united and their records when it comes to Liverpool, and besides Liverpool have a better team than Manchester united.
Initially at the beginning of this contest, Manchester united were dominating more of the ball, but as times goes on , Liverpool seized the initiative and they are more likely to get the third than Manchester united getting the equalizer, and I think it will be very difficult for Manchester united to get another goal in this game, unless they improve massively.
United have been very weak this season, that they cannot defend their goals, or add more to their goal, whenever that they are playing with big teams this season. Imagine how porous they left the defense that made Liverpool to score 2 goals within 3 minutes.
Manchester united have always brought home bad record this season when playing with big team. They find it very difficult to draw the match. I don't know what is wrong with these players this season. I don't think that there is a y hope for United because Liverpool might score again in the second half.
