Kevin De Bruyne has named the biggest difference between Manchester City and Liverpool. The main difference between Manchester City and Liverpool, in Kevin De Bruyne’s opinion, is that the Reds are more of “an up-and-down team.”
WHAT OCCURED?
When it comes to domestic championships and European trophies, two Premier League heavyweights have been competing against one another for some years. Both teams have seen significant success in the English Premier League and cup competitions, but City has been more consistent, as Pep Guardiola’s team has won the title four times in the last five years, compared to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, who have only won once.
“Ahead of the two sides meeting again at Anfield on Sunday, Kevin De Bruyne has told Sky Sports what separates a couple of fiercely-ambitious outfits: “They are more of an up-and-down team and we are a team who has more control of the game, so if you can control that style of play then maybe you have more of a chance.”
The Belgium international midfielder added: “I expect them to be at the best Liverpool possible. Obviously they lost some points but they are still Liverpool and I expect them to be good, that’s the only way I see it. I like big games, I like good atmospheres. It’s a game like any other, obviously, it’s hard playing away at a top-six team always, I think the last few years we’ve done well.”
With nine Premier League games played and a total of 23 points, City is second in the standings heading into their matchup with Liverpool in 2022–23. The Reds, on the other hand, are mired in 10th position after accumulating just two victories and 10 points from their first eight games.
