Liverpool Leads Premier League as Manchester City Struggles

Liverpool: The Premier League match on Sunday at Anfield features Liverpool and Manchester City. Liverpool is currently eight points ahead at the top of the table. Meanwhile, Manchester City has not won in their last six matches across all competitions.

The differences in their performances are clear when looking at the statistics. Manchester City is not facing a lot of chances, but the chances they do face are of high quality. They allow the most dangerous chances in the top five leagues in Europe.

Only two teams are allowing fewer chances than Manchester City, which averages eight chances given up per game. These teams are Bayern Munich, who leads the German Bundesliga, and Getafe, currently in 15th place in Spain’s La Liga.

On the other hand, Liverpool has improved compared to last season. They have four more points after their first 12 games this year. Their style of play has not changed much, but they are playing a bit more defensively.

Liverpool has faced 37 fewer shots than last season, which shows their stronger defense. However, they have also taken 35 fewer shots themselves. This indicates that while they are defending well, they may need to be more aggressive in attack.
