Manchester City faces a critical test as they prepare to face Liverpool next Sunday amid a challenging period marked by poor form and mounting injuries. Pep Guardiola’s side has suffered five consecutive losses across competitions, including a crushing 4-0 defeat to Tottenham, leaving them eight points behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race. The absence of key players like Rodri, who is out for the season with an ACL injury, and potential doubts over John Stones, further compound City’s struggles. Stones, a vital defensive figure and unexpected scoring contributor, missed training ahead of City’s Champions League clash, raising concerns about his fitness for the Anfield showdown.

 

The squad’s depth is stretched thin, with injuries to Oskar Bobb and Mateo Kovacic adding to Guardiola’s headaches. Though Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku have returned to training, City’s defensive line remains fragile, amplifying the stakes of the Liverpool clash. Meanwhile, Klopp’s side is dealing with their own injury concerns, adding intrigue to what promises to be a pivotal match. For City, a loss could widen the gap in the title race, while a Liverpool victory would strengthen their lead and deliver a psychological blow to their rivals.
