Liverpool vs Man City: Premier League latest score and updates - LIVE!
Liverpool is well on their way to reinforcing their position in the Premier League title race after a commanding first half against Manchester City. At the moment, the Reds are ahead of Pep Guardiola's team by eight points, a lead that could soon stretch to 11, thanks to Cody Gakpo putting them ahead before the break. Virgil van Dijk struck the post, Gakpo missed a chance over the bar, and Dominik Szoboszlai came close to scoring several times, leaving City quite lucky to be trailing by just one goal.
Arne Slot has been having an impressive run since taking over from the legendary Jurgen Klopp, and his team breezed past Real Madrid on Wednesday evening. If they can replicate that performance here, it would send a powerful message about their ambitions.
Meanwhile, City is facing a serious crisis. They've suffered five straight losses and only managed a draw against Feyenoord despite being ahead 3-0, feeling like yet another defeat. Pep Guardiola has never experienced a six-match winless streak in his career, and that record is at risk of being broken, as the team is struggling defensively and isn't creating many chances in attack.
