This marquee matchup between two of the Premiere League’s biggest rivals kicks off early Saturday morning.
Coming into this weekend, Manchester City sits in the second spot in the Premier League table, with 61 points after 27 matches played. As of now, they seem to be the only team that can threaten Arsenal for the trophy at the end of the season, but they can’t afford to fall further behind with barely 10 matches to go.
That won’t be easy this weekend when they host rival Liverpool , who are vying for a top-4 finish and would love to spoil City’s season. Sitting in 6th place, Liverpool is currently seven points out of 4th, and are tied with the two teams below them . If they want any chance of making it to the Champions League by finishing 4th or better, they also can’t afford a loss on Saturday.
This rivalry match has the makings to be a classic, with City’s striker Erling Haaland potentially making his return from a groin injury. If he plays, Haaland will face off against Liverpool’s stout center back Virgil van Dijk, who is considered the best defensive player in the world. For Liverpool, striker Mo Salah will look to score against City for the fourth time this year in all competitions, while Haaland works to break Salah’s very own record for goals in a single season for an EPL team .
