Liverpool is set to face Manchester City, hoping to build on their strong season while City struggles with injuries and poor form. The match promises to be an exciting showdown.
Manchester City has been having a tough time lately. They lost their last game 4-0 to Tottenham, marking their fifth consecutive loss in all competitions. This has put them in a difficult position as they prepare to face Liverpool.
Liverpool’s recent performance has been impressive. Mohamed Salah scored twice in a comeback win against Southampton. They also defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League, which has boosted their morale ahead of the match against City.
City has dominated the Premier League in recent years, winning the last four titles. However, Liverpool believes they can break that streak if they manage to go 11 points clear with a win.
The match is scheduled for Sunday, December 1, at 4 PM BST. Fans are eager to see how the teams will perform, especially with City struggling.

In terms of team news, Liverpool has some injury concerns. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley both suffered injuries in the match against Real Madrid. Their availability for the City game is uncertain, with Konate’s condition being particularly worrying.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to return to the starting lineup after recovering from injury. If Konate cannot play, Jarrell Quansah may step in to partner with Virgil van Dijk against City’s star striker, Erling Haaland.
Liverpool’s goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, will continue to play after a strong performance against Real Madrid, where he saved a penalty from Kylian Mbappe. Other players like Alisson Becker and Diogo Jota remain sidelined.
On the other hand, Manchester City has been struggling with injuries as well. Rodri and Mateo Kovacic are out, and John Stones is uncertain after missing a recent match.
Ruben Dias is back on the bench, and Kevin De Bruyne is getting closer to starting after returning from injury. Pep Guardiola will provide updates on the team’s condition as the match approaches.
As for the possible line-ups, Liverpool might start with Kelleher in goal, supported by Alexander-Arnold, Quansah, Van Dijk, and Robertson. The midfield could include Gravenberch, Jones, and Mac Allister, with Salah, Nunez, and Gakpo leading the attack.
Manchester City may field Ederson in goal, with a defense featuring Walker, Akanji, Dias, and Gvardiol. Their midfield could consist of Lewis and Gundogan, while Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, and Haaland make up the forward line.
Betting odds suggest Liverpool is slightly favored to win, with a win at 6/5, a draw at 11/4, and a Manchester City win at 12/5. Fans are excited to see how this crucial match will unfold.
