Not long after returning to Manchester City, the eighth round of the Premier League will start.

Manchester City's opponent in this round is Liverpool!
Manchester City will go away to challenge Liverpool.

Liverpool has achieved an unbeaten record of six wins and one draw in the first seven rounds, ranking behind Manchester City by two points and ranking No.2 in the standings.

It's a battle for the top spot!
It is also the first strong opponent Manchester City has encountered in the Premier League this season.

This game has long attracted great attention from the media and fans. As long as Liverpool can beat Manchester City at home, they can pull Manchester City down and sit at the top of the standings.

The Guardian characterized this game as a "championship preview", and believed that whoever wins will have an advantage in the championship.

"From a certain point of view, this game is a preview of this season's Premier League championship!

No matter what words are used to define this game, it is not an exaggeration. The performance of the two sides in the Premier League this season is obvious to all, and they are the only two unbeaten teams.

For this peak duel, Liverpool even gave up the second round of the Champions League group stage three days ago, losing to the Serie A powerhouse Naples with a score of [-]-[-]!
Its purpose is to compete with Manchester City for the top spot in the Premier League!

Manchester City's difficulty in winning the second round of the Champions League group is actually related to the upcoming game with Liverpool.

Let's analyze this game from various aspects:
Klopp has played against Guardiola [-] times, winning [-] times with a slight advantage!

It should also be one of the few coaches in football who can gain the upper hand against Guardiola.

Manchester City was the champion of the Premier League last season. After they won the last round, they surpassed Liverpool and rose to the top of the list. The Red Army once won six consecutive victories at the beginning. After the draw with Chelsea in the last round, Liverpool and Manchester City opened up points.

Manchester City currently has 21 points, only two points more than Liverpool. Both teams are aiming for the Premier League championship. This game will be a key battle worth six points.

There is good news from Manchester City. Both Mendy and De Bruyne resumed training this week. They are expected to return to the king in the game against Liverpool.

However, Bravo and Delph will still be injured, and Gundogan is doubtful. It is reported that he felt unwell after the game against Hoffenheim.

Li's left ankle injury has basically healed. For Manchester City, this is the biggest good news. He is expected to play the whole game against Liverpool.

In the match against Hoffenheim three days ago, Li was substituted in No. 15 minutes in the second half. In a short period of time, he completed three shots and one pass, helping Manchester City win a thrilling victory.

This shows that his condition has recovered very well!

For Liverpool, Rana is close to returning, but Chamberlain is still absent. Keita, who was replaced by a back injury in the Champions League in midweek, is expected to catch up with this Tianwangshan battle.

As the top scorer in the history of Manchester City, Aguero is still in good form this season. He scored five goals in the first seven rounds of the league.

Li is undoubtedly the star who has maintained the best condition among the Premier League forwards. He played five times in the Premier League and scored [-] goals!

The average goal per game almost reached three goals!
This state is the best in the whole of Europe, not to mention the Premier League.

Salah was the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot last season, but he started this season very depressed.

Scored three goals in seven appearances in the league.

In the mid-week Champions League, Pharaoh missed opportunities many times, but Salah is energetic as soon as he plays against a strong team. Last season, he scored three goals and sent two assists in four appearances for Manchester City. This time he will make Guardiola feel desperate again. ?

In the Champions League quarter-finals last season, Manchester City was eliminated by Liverpool 1-5 in two rounds!
Klopp can be said to be Guardiola's bitter master. Guardiola has lost to the team coached by Klopp seven times in his career, more than any other coach.

If he loses another away game in this campaign, Guardiola will lose three consecutive away games to the same opponent in the league, which will also create an embarrassing record in Gua Shuai's career.

Liverpool has 12 wins and 5 draws in the last [-] home games against Manchester City and remains unbeaten!
The last time the Red Army lost to Manchester City at Anfield dates back to May 2003.

Historically, Liverpool have the upper hand. "

The Times analyzed the game from another angle: "A lot of media are analyzing the records and records between Guardiola and Klopp, and they ignore the story between Lee and Klopp.

In 2012, Li also played for Santa Malaga, the lowest level team in Spain. That year they shocked the whole of Spain in the Copa del Rey, defeated a lot of La Liga teams, and finally won the Copa del Rey miraculously.

It created the record for the lowest level in Spanish history to win the Copa del Rey, and also created the record for the lowest level team in Europe to win the domestic cup.

Relying on his wonderful performance in the King's Cup, Li stepped into the sky and stepped into the La Liga arena.

For Malaga, it was the most glorious season in the history of the team.

Under the leadership of two young men, Malaga miraculously snatched the La Liga championship from Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and won the first domestic top league championship in club history!

Li is therefore well known by fans.

In that magical season, Malaga also achieved impressive results in the Champions League. For the first time in the Champions League, they entered the knockout round as the first in the group.

Malaga knocked out Portuguese powerhouse Porto in the first round of the knockout round and reached the quarter-finals.

Malaga's opponent in the quarter-finals is Dortmund coached by Klopp!

In the first round, Lee passed and shot, helping Malaga to take the lead [-]-[-]. In the second round, Lee performed brilliantly again and scored two goals, but Dortmund was in the countdown period, and Gross Kreutz completed the absolute victory. kill.

In the end, Dortmund led by Klopp advanced to the semifinals and finally joined Bayern in the final.

With his outstanding performance that season, Klopp also became the target of the major European giants.

There was a sideshow during the second leg between the two teams, when Lee was on his way back to the dressing room at the end of the first half when he was racistly attacked by Dortmund fans.

In this regard, Li formed a "feud" with the German team, and Li also took over the "feud" with Klopp!
After Klopp left Dortmund and came to Liverpool, Lee has never met Klopp on the field.

Although it has been four years, but judging from Li's personality, he will never forget the scene that happened at the Westfalen Stadium.

Therefore, in the match between Manchester City and Liverpool, we cannot ignore this point.

Lee is now famous all over the world, and Klopp's outstanding work in Liverpool has also become a generation of famous coaches in today's world football.

The two reunited in the Premier League after four years, what kind of sparks will they create?
What kind of story will happen again?
This is what we look forward to, we can wait for the 'good news'! "

As soon as the Times article was published, countless small media outlets followed suit.

"The grievances between Lee and Klopp!"

"The story Lee and Klopp had to tell!"
