Liverpool vs Manchester City: Ortega denies Gakpo’s low shot as Reds look for breakthrough – Live updates

Good afternoon and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of the Liverpool vs Manchester City match!

Get ready, everyone! A thrilling Premier League event is upon us.

Today’s Super Sunday clash sees Liverpool with a six-point advantage at the summit of the table, sitting eight points clear of Manchester City.

Following Arsenal’s impressive 5-2 victory over West Ham, Liverpool’s lead has shrunk by three points, but this could be just a fleeting challenge.

Arne Slot has seamlessly transitioned into his new position, guiding a vibrant squad that has dominated the Premier League this season, racking up 10 wins in their first 12 outings.

Liverpool comes into this crucial encounter riding the momentum of four straight victories in all competitions, most recently triumphing over European powerhouses Real Madrid in the Champions League.

On the other hand, Manchester City’s recent performance has raised concerns, with the team going winless in their last six matches in all competitions.

This troubling stretch is a stark contrast to what we’ve come to expect from Pep Guardiola’s team since he took charge in 2016.

If City suffers a loss at Anfield today, they will fall 11 points behind Liverpool and become the first reigning Premier League champions to lose four consecutive matches in the season following their title victory.
