It will probably be a draw. The top teams always bring their best game and cancel each other out.

Feel that slot team will not go crazy like klopp team. They dont concede goal much like klopp style. Slot team can hold on the lead better than klopp team

City's record at Anfield is dire. Only time they've won there in 20 years is when there was no fans in the stadium.

[SagarHamal-cgpb]

Surely Liverpool will fight 💪 vs man city and PGMOL, ,that’s the truth

[kwakuasare]

I hate how people mention points gap but don't take into account games in hand. Previous seasons City have been behind by gaps eg last season but had games in hand having played club world cup. 8 points yet 2 games in hand

[dwightbernard]

City is not the City of old. They lose on Sunday. It will be curtains.

Shaka getting last season and 2 seasons ago mixed up

Even if City gets it together in the new year, it's still in Liverpools hands. Liverpool has to go on a slide or start dropping points in order for the gap to close, and there's nothing so far to indicate that their form is going to drop

[abdisharif]

What about Liverpool being ahead 13 points ahead of Arsenal on December 1997/98 😅 what happened in that season, ESPN who won 🏆 it

[weiwei]

Liverpool must stay calm to overcome biggest Man City challenge.

[Yoyo-sykl]

In their hands, throw it away, can't we just play to win, and not talk about the finish line? Its still not even half way through the race.

[kadarabdullahi]

This too shall pass. Absolutely Pep, keep on going 💯

[luissosa]

That "I wouldnt be surprised" killed me at the beggining 😂😂😂 Pep over here having a crisis. And this reporters like "brother chill". 😂😂😂

[osmanismail]

This is a real test for Liverpool defence. Robertson needs to step up. He’s not at his best after his injury.

[Grogag]

The impact is high price for transger window is not necessary

[vjmarshal]

If it was klopps liverpool playing city at this time..the game wud either end with a big margin win for klopp of atleast 3 goals or he might hve ended up wd a high scoring draw like a 2-2 or 3-3 scoreline...der wud be 50% chance for klopp to beat pep but wd a heavy win...As for slot i dnt think he cares much about how the scoreline looks at the end but he wud make sure he gets all the three points...So ders more of a chance around 70 to 80% slot is goin to get his three points at anfield against the current city...

These pundits did not hear what Pep actually said. He’s talking about just focusing on the next match and that’s it. Rather than looking 6 months down the road at end of season table positions. The problem with people already writing off City is they are not only ignoring years of City turning it on and completely going off. But it’s ignoring we are only 12 matches into a 38 match season. Like Stevie correctly said the other night, even if Liverpool win and go up by 11 points they are not remotely secure in winning the league title. Too many people are focused on the very here and now with reactionary takes and don’t take lessons from history again and again and again.

Even if man city has 50 pts behind these pundits would still say; man city can to and win it😂😂
