Key Players to Watch
Manchester City – Erling Haaland
Haaland continues to redefine goal-scoring standards in the Premier League. With 13 goals and 1 assist in 10 matches, the Norwegian striker remains City’s most dangerous weapon. His physical dominance, off-the-ball movement, and ruthless finishing make him nearly unstoppable, particularly against a Liverpool defense that often pushes high up the pitch. Expect Haaland to be at the heart of City’s attacking play, supported by the creativity of De Bruyne and Foden.
Liverpool – Mohamed Salah
Liverpool’s talisman Mohamed Salah remains a constant threat in every game, using his pace, composure, and sharp decision-making to create and convert chances. With 4 goals and 2 assists in 10 matches, Salah has been more of a provider this season, often drifting wide to link up play. However, in big games like this, his knack for producing decisive moments could be crucial to Liverpool’s hopes of breaching City’s defense.
