Defending champions Liverpool will play a semi-fateful match against leaders Manchester City, the leaders, on Sunday, in the 23rd round of the English Premier League.
Liverpool is living in a turbulent period, as it has won only twice in the last eight matches in the league, and in the event that it loses again to “City”, the latter will move away from it by 10 points, plus a postponed match, knowing that the competition for the title has been limited between them in the last two seasons.
Liverpool have not won their last four home matches and have not found a way to the net there since December.
His German coach, Jürgen Klopp, acknowledged mental and physical suffering, while the defensive retreat continues as a result of injury to the main defenders, Virgil van Dyck and Joe Gomez, prompting Klopp to rely on the midfielders, captain Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho in defense.
In the event that the red team, crowned the European title, also lost in the season before last, in tomorrow’s match, it will be its fourth place in the English Premier League, the last to qualify for the Champions League, threatened by West Ham of London, who is visiting Fulham, who is threatened with relegation.
But “Anfield”, the stronghold of Liverpool, does not smile much at Manchester City in recent years, as the Blue Team has failed to win there in the last 18 years.
