It is very difficult for Manchester City to beat Liverpool at the moment but it is not impossible. Manchester City may not be in good form, but they have a very strong squad. If the players can perform well, it is definitely possible for Manchester City to get 3 points against Liverpool.
In the last match, we did not get a good performance from Liverpool as expected, Liverpool failed to win against Aston Villa. The match against Manchester City is very important for Liverpool. If Liverpool loses points in this match too, then the gap between Liverpool and Arsenal will be reduced further. And the fight for the title will be more competitive.
For me, Liverpool's performance is much stronger this season, they managed to beat Manchester City in their first meeting this season and in the second meeting this season I am also sure that Liverpool will succeed in stealing full points at the Etihad Stadium. Manchester City is in an unstable performance, especially since they have just been eliminated from the Champions League which will certainly have an impact on the mentality of their players.
On the one hand, the performance of both teams in the Premier League this season, of course, Liverpool has no difficulty in defeating their opponents, but facing Manchester City, of course Arne Slot must arrange a better strategy because Manchester City can stop Liverpool's good streak if they find a gap to score goals. The defense line must be Arne Slot's main focus in this match, they must maintain good stability in the defense line and be able to break Haaland's movement in carrying the ball.
