Premier League: Liverpool vs Manchester City records to watch out for

Liverpool will take on Manchester City in today’s Premier League clash between the two sides. The Jurgen Klopp-managed side have not been able to find their stellar form from the past few seasons in 2022-23, and are currently struggling at the 11th spot on the league table. Manchester City, on the other hand, have had a flying start to their season. They are currently undefeated in the league, having amassed 23 points in nine matches thus far, winning seven and drawing two.

Here are some records that can be scripted when the two giants of English football step onto the field on Sunday:

Liverpool’s record against City

The Merseyside Reds have not managed to defeat the Cityzens in all of their last five encounters, drawing three and losing five. Never in their history have Liverpool gone six straight matches without defeating Man City. It will be a milestone moment for the defending league champions if they manage to go undefeated in tonight’s encounter as well.
