Liverpool and Manchester City meet this afternoon in a game that may not be as important as it once was, with 13 points separating the two teams.
The Reds sit 11th in the table with only two wins in eight games, and manager Jurgen Klopp has already stated that they are “not in the title race.”
The defending champions, on the other hand, are unblemished after nine games.
If the Reds can rip up the form book at Anfield, this game may be a watershed moment.
Klopp’s team enters the game fresh off a stunning 7-1 Champions League victory against Rangers.
Since Liverpool defeated City 3-1 in the Community Shield on July 30, a lot has transpired.
Liverpool has only won two Premier League games this season, both of which came in the last five days of August. They defeated Bournemouth 9-0 before defeating Newcastle 2-1 in the 98th minute.
To demonstrate how far they’ve fallen since then, they’re presently three points behind Bournemouth.
Their record of 10 points after eight Premier League games is their lowest since 2012-13, when they finished seventh and failed to qualify for Europe.
Klopp recently stated that they must relearn how to be unpredictable.
