The much-anticipated clash between Manchester City and Liverpool reignites the Premier League after a 427-day international break. Disputes over the best teams aside, there’s no denying the magnitude of this modern-era rivalry. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp resume their tactical battle after a season’s hiatus prompted by Liverpool’s struggles.
Despite Klopp’s reservations about the early kickoff time, the City-Liverpool encounter promises to be not only the highlight of the weekend but one of the season’s defining moments. With Liverpool aiming to dethrone City at the summit, the potential for a classic showdown looms large, despite concerns about the players’ jet lag from international duty.

Fans hope for an all-out clash between the two managers, though the timing might influence tactical decisions.
