Manchester: The article outlines Liverpool’s strong 2-0 victory over Manchester City, highlighting key aspects of both teams’ seasons. Liverpool, under Arne Slot, have taken a commanding 11-point lead in the Premier League and appear to be on track to match Manchester United’s record of 20 titles.

They’ve built on Klopp’s legacy, benefiting from key signings and a strong squad. Salah is in remarkable form, continuing to deliver despite his contract situation.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are struggling, trailing Liverpool by 20 points. Pep Guardiola has overseen a major squad overhaul, spending £170 million in January to bolster the team.

Despite these efforts, City’s performance has been inconsistent, particularly missing the presence of Erling Haaland in this match. Guardiola remains hopeful for the future, finding solace in the team’s potential.

The game showcased Salah’s brilliance, with Slot noting that even though Liverpool didn’t have many opportunities to get him in promising positions, whenever they did, he proved dangerous.

This could be a pivotal moment in the title race, with Liverpool leaving a strong mark on City at the Etihad, while City’s rebuilding process continues.
