The team heads into the upcoming match on the back of an impressive 8-match unbeaten run in the Premier League, with 7 wins and just 1 draw. Liverpool has shown excellent form in their last three games, securing home victories against Brighton (2-1) and Aston Villa (2-0), as well as a hard-fought away win over Southampton (3-2).
These results have positively impacted their league standings: heading into this round, Liverpool sits comfortably at the top of the table, holding an 8-point lead over Manchester City. It’s also worth noting that the Reds boast the best defense in the Premier League, having conceded only 8 goals. Earlier this week, Real Madrid also failed to breach Liverpool’s defense in a midweek encounter, where the Reds secured a 2-0 victory.
On the other hand, City is struggling, having set an unwanted record with five consecutive defeats across all competitions. The last time the reigning English champions endured such a streak was Chelsea 68 years ago. During this stretch, the Citizens have lost three Premier League matches: away to Bournemouth and Brighton (both 1-2) and a heavy 4-0 home defeat to Tottenham.
City has fallen significantly behind Liverpool in the standings and is now just one point ahead of three other teams. Notably, in their most recent Champions League match, Manchester City drew 3-3 with Feyenoord, becoming the first team in tournament history to fail to win after leading 3-0 in the 75th minute. Before that, City suffered a heavy away defeat to Sporting.
