For years, there were only two serious Premier League candidates in England: Manchester City and Liverpool. Since the season 2018/19, the Reds have been out of the top two spots only twice (third and fifth place) and are current leaders on the table. Their toughest task in 2024 – a home game against Manchester City on Sunday. With a possible win, the Reds could exerted their lead over Pep Guardiola’s men to four points. And the sparks have already began to burst between the players. The ‘fire’ was started by Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold. Pep believes in retaining the UCL title: Our biggest competition are Real Madrid and Bayern”It’s tough. We’re up against a machine that’s built to win – that’s the simplest way to describe City and their organisation. Looking back on this era, although they’ve won more titles than us and have probably been more successful, our trophies will mean more to us and our fanbase because of the situations at both clubs, financially. How both clubs have built their teams and the manner in which we’ve done it, probably means more to our fans” said Liverpool defender to FourFourTwo magazine. Haaland is loving life at Manchester City – but he won’t be there foreverThis statement, obviously, was all over the media and provoked an answer from Erling Haaland. The Norwegian spoke to Sky Sports and admitted he cannot wait to play against Liverpool. He is currently top scorer in the Premier League with 18 goals and it’s fair to say he will have extra motivation for Sunday, considering Alexander-Arnold’s comments.”If he wants to say that, then OK. I’ve been here one year and won the Treble and it was quite a nice feeling, I do not think he knows exactly this feeling. So yeah, that is what I felt last season and it was quite nice. They can talk as much as they want, or he can talk as much as he wants, I do not know why he does that, but I do not mind” said the Norwegian. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7929893##
