Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City tomorrow is the biggest match between the two clubs since they last competed for the Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp. Man City’s financial cheating powder keg exploded last month when the Premier League confirmed the club’s owners were found guilty of rigging their books to compete with Europe’s biggest clubs.
Liverpool have the chance to move within three points of City with a win at Anfield, but given the heightened emotions that are certain to dictate the ebb and flow of the game, it has the potential to go badly wrong for the Reds. Whatever is true about Man City’s financial integrity behind the scenes, their players are certain to be furious about the situation and will want to make a statement of their own.
It’s auspicious that the first game since the verdict was released by the Premier League will be at Anfield. Liverpool are on nine points this season, while Man City have already accumulated 15, leading the Premier League on points per game, albeit Arsenal are on 15 as well, having played a game more after their 2-1 win over Leeds United on Saturday.
