Manchester City

“Citizens” are playing better in the Champions League this season than in the national championship. Manchester City played host to Olympiacos in the Champions League group stage this week and achieved a 3:0 success. This is the third consecutive winning result in the European Cup and in each of the matches of this tournament. Josep Guardiola's wards have scored three goals. They also beat Porto (3:1) and Marseille (3:0).

It seems that in the Champions League, the "townspeople" have already practically solved their problem and now they need to go all out into internal squabbles, where things are not yet so optimistic. Especially in terms of performance. And the stability in the last rounds of Manchester City was clearly not enough. After a rather successful opening match in the Premier League, in which the Manquans won a convincing 3:1 victory away, followed by a failure in the match with Leicester and a terrible 2:5 defeat. Conclusions were drawn from it. In the next four rounds, Guardiola's charges conceded only two goals, but they themselves scored no more than one per match.

Two away matches during this period ended in a 1:1 draw with Leeds and West Ham. They also beat Sheffield United (1:0) in the last round on its field and at home they won the match against Arsenal (1:0). We also note that out of six meetings in the current championship at home, Manchester City have played only two.

Perhaps the reason for the poor performance was the injuries of several key players. Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy and Sergio Aguero are still in the infirmary.

Liverpool

It will be difficult for Liverpool to defend their league title this season. A series of injuries that hit the team at the beginning of the season do not allow Jurgen Klopp to stabilize his players' game. Virgil van Dyck's defensive pillar is especially painful. Also in the club's infirmary are Fabinho, Thiago Alcantara and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. However, the key attacking footballers gradually returned to service, which made it possible to issue a good winning streak.

Taking into account the matches in the Champions League, Liverpool have won their last five matches in a row. Three of them, however, took place in the European Cup over Ajax (1:0), Midtjylland (2:0) and Atalanta (5:0). And if in the Champions League they managed to defend their gates "clean", then in the championship "Liver" concedes regularly.

They managed to get three points with difficulty in the last round over West Ham (2:1), putting the squeeze on the opponent at the very end of the meeting. But that was at home, where Klopp's charges have four victories in a row, but on the road so far everything is not so successful. Following the 2:0 win over Chelsea, the Mercisadians have won seven goals from Aston Villa (2:7) and two from Everton (2:2) in their last away games.

So far, Liverpool is in second place in the standings, but the situation at the top is too tight. The Lersisiders are only five points ahead of the future rival, while the “townspeople” have played one match less.
