Jakarta –
Although it is no longer a title fight, a duel Manchester City vs Liverpool expected to remain fierce. Both of them still have a big mission to fight for.
Laga Manchester City vs Liverpool in advanced Premier League will be held at the Etihad Stadium on Friday (3/7/2020) early morning hrs. The match can be watched at Grindstone TV through the link the following.
This match is no longer decisive in the title competition, because Liverpool had locked it last week when Man City lost to Chelsea. A score of 86 points from 31 matches owned by Liverpool can no longer be pursued by City, which has just 63 points, aka 23 points behind.
But that does not mean they both don’t have anything to pursue. Liverpool, for example, are still chasing records held by City when they won the last two seasons.
Man City still holds the record for the most points (100 points), the biggest margin (19 points), and the most number of wins (32 wins). Conversely, Man City also has self-respect to maintain.
The Pep Guardiola landing team will want to prove that the difference with Liverpool is actually not as big as in the current standings. Especially in the first meeting this season, City have lost 1-3 at Anfield.
“Manchester City will show Liverpool great respect by giving guard of honor before the match. But it will be painful for Pep Guardiola and his players, and they will want to prove something on the field afterwards,” wrote the legendary Premier League striker Alan Shearer, in a column in BBC.
“This is a big game even without the title at stake. Liverpool have won the title City, and now they want the records too: the most points, the biggest margin at the championship, and the most wins.”
“That’s what will be demanded by the boss ‘The Red’ Juergen Klopp. His team has become the best with great distances this season, and they will want to show it again against the nearest rival,” he added.
