Pep Guardiola does not consider a match against Liverpool as an opportunity to improve Manchester City’s situation, even if they manage to win at Anfield. The team is experiencing its worst streak under his management, with six games without a win, including five losses and a surprising meltdown after being 3-0 ahead against Feyenoord. They will be heading to Liverpool for one of their most challenging matches of the season. They enter the match as underdogs against a team that can extend their lead by 11 points with a victory on Sunday. Despite City’s current struggles, a win could revive their hopes and bring them closer to the top of the table, altering the current storyline.
