This weekend, Pep Guardiola and Arne Slot will enter the competition at the Etihad, where both understand that even the smallest mistakes can cost a lot. Especially in the context of Arsenal still maintaining impressive form throughout the first weeks of the season.
In terms of statistics, Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League since the beginning of April. During this time, they have won the most points in the league (42), won 13 out of 19 matches (3 draws, 3 losses), and won 9 out of 10 home matches at the Etihad, losing only once.
Last week, City continued to show their strength with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth in the Premier League, before defeating Borussia Dortmund 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League.
Meanwhile, Liverpool continued their victory over Aston Villa with another impressive performance, when they defeated Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League thanks to Alexis Mac Allister's goal.
However, The Kop are still showing instability away from home, having lost their last 3 consecutive matches in the Premier League. They are facing the risk of their fourth consecutive away defeat - something that has not happened since April 2012, under Kenny Dalglish.
Man City lost both times to Liverpool in the Premier League last season with a score of 0-2.
Only in the match against Man United in 2020 did Guardiola witness his team go through 3 consecutive matches without scoring against the same opponent (in all competitions).
However, Man City still maintained an overall advantage, winning 10 of their last 12 Premier League games against defending champions (1 draw, 1 loss). The most recent of which was a 4-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield in February 2021.
