Stats That Will Make Guardiola Scratch His Head Again
After Tuesday's frustrating draw against Feyenoord, Pep Guardiola was visibly irritated, even scratching his head and nose in frustration during the post-match press conference.
Now, Manchester City faces arguably their toughest test of the season – an away clash at Anfield against Liverpool.
The reigning Premier League champions are enduring a dismal run of form, with no wins in their last six matches (one draw and five defeats). But the numbers surrounding City’s performances at Anfield paint an even bleaker picture.
2024-25 Premier League: Results & Standings
In their last 21 Premier League visits to Liverpool, City have managed just one victory – a 4-1 win on February 7, 2021, during the pandemic when Anfield was eerily silent due to empty stands. With fans in attendance, however, City’s record is abysmal: 13 losses and seven draws, stretching back to May 2003.
The highly anticipated showdown between Liverpool and Manchester City is set for Sunday, December 1, kicking off at 17:00 CET. It promises to be the defining match of the season's first half.
