How do Liverpool go about beating Manchester City? It’s a question that used to be a lot easier to answer until recently, because the 2022/23 season has marked something of a divergence amongst the two giants who have dominated the Premier League over the last half-decade.
Whereas City seem to have found the final piece in the puzzle in the form of the indomitable Erling Haaland, Liverpool appear to have hit a roadblock with a tough start to the season punctuated by just two league wins.
The Citizens look refreshed and reinvigorated in their quest to win a fifth Premier League title in just six seasons, while the Reds seem to be the lacking the very edge and spite which has made them such a thorn in City's side over the years.
As such, there are countless fascinating narratives surrounding City's trip to Anfield on Sunday and most of them centre around whether or not the hosts can actually win the game.
