The six-time Premier League champion and winner of the FA Cup started this season off with a slip, but eventually managed to climb to the top of the standings, which it holds to this day. “Arduik”, that is the name of the club until 1894, after the 31st round managed to get 23 wins and drew five times, which brought 74 points and the first position. The gap from the nearest pursuer is 14 points, which may soon bring an early victory for City. After a failure in the game with fellow countrymen from United (0:2), the “heavenly” defeated Southampton (5:2), Fulham (3:0) and Leicester (2:0). It is impossible not to note the best performance in the defense line, where the team conceded only 21 times, with the best performance in the attack line. Sixty-six times the Mancunians hit the rivals’ goal, which is more than two goals per match, on average. In the FA Cup Pep Guardiola’s charges are performing confidently and have already reached the semi-finals stage, beating Everton in the last round (2:0). Manchester City successfully made their way through the group stage of the Champions League, after which the townspeople defeated Borussia Gladbach twice in the first stage of the playoffs with the same score 2:0, which brought them a ticket to the quarterfinals. According to preliminary reports from the team’s headquarters, all players are healthy and ready to enter the field.
Its been a while, since Liverpool have said goodbye to the league title. The team’s failure in the last stretch of the season looks impressive. Over the past eight rounds, Jurgen Klopp’s team suffered six defeats. Moreover, the Lerseysides have scored only two goals in six lost matches. During this period Liverpool managed to beat only Sheffield United (2:0) and Wolverhampton (1:0). It is not surprising that after such disappointing results, Klopp’s wards fell back to seventh place in the standings. At the moment, the Lerseysides have 46 points, which is only four more than the future rival. Liverpool are now five points behind the top four. It should be noted, however, that Liverpool have been playing better away than at home lately. In five previous away matches, the Reds have won four victories. In addition to the “blades” and “wolves”, they also defeated West Ham (3:1) and Tottenham (3:1). In general, in 14 away matches the Lerseysides won only six victories in the championship, drew five times and lost in three cases. There are still three defenders in the team’s infirmary: Joel Matip, Joseph Gomez and Virgil van Dijk, as well as midfielder Jordan Henderson. Questionable is Divok Origi.
