n a pivotal match at the top of the Premier League standings, Manchester City takes on Liverpool this Saturday.

WATCH MANCHESTER CITY v LIVERPOOL LIVE

Though leading the league, Pep Guardiola’s team is only one point ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, and all the signs point to another wild match between these two amazing coaches.

Guardiola will be concerned about City’s lack of control in games this season after the team drew 4–4 with Chelsea prior to the international break.

Although they are struggling defensively with balance, they are as vicious offensively as ever, with Erling Haaland leading the Premier League with 13 goals this year.

Liverpool’s star player Mohamed Salah is playing well, and their tale is similar in that they are also struggling defensively as a result of an unbalanced midfield.

In his fluid 4-3-3 formation, Klopp has substituted playmakers for holding midfielders, and while Liverpool looks great up front, they are quite vulnerable when playing on the counter. Nevertheless, they take the lead in the league if they win at City.

Focus on Manchester City, team news

While City leads the league, their string of poor performances this season has given the opposition hope. Guardiola’s team has been struggling with a genuine lack of control in midfield, as was evident in their recent draw against Chelsea.

Nevertheless, they have won 23 straight home games in all competitions, and a victory vs Liverpool will tie the English Premier League record of 24 victories.

Kevin de Bruyne has been sidelined along with John Stones, but the latter is recovering and should be back in the next month or two.

After recovering from injuries, Mateo Kovacic, Erling Haaland, Sergio Gomez, Nathan Ake, Ederson, and Matheus Nunes ought to be available.

Haaland injury news

Erling Haaland participated in Norway’s match against the Faroe Islands during the international break, but he was sidelined for their second match against Scotland due to a recurrence of a foot issue that has been plaguing him all season.

That is undoubtedly a major worry for City, and Pep won’t play Haaland if he isn’t totally healthy; Julian Alvarez will probably start at the front of the line instead.

Focus on Liverpool, team news

Due to the excellent attacking connection that has developed between Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Dominik Szoboszlai, Klopp has reverted to an all-out attack for the most of the games.

Although there is room for improvement in terms of balance, this Liverpool team is entertaining to watch and is not afraid to take chances.

Additionally, in their last 23 games played since the previous season, they have only lost one league game.

While Andy Robertson is recuperating from shoulder surgery and Curtis Jones is still out due to a hamstring injury, Thiago Alcantara and Stefan Bajcetic are still out.

While Ryan Gravenberch, Joe Gomez, and Ibrahima Konate are all fighting to be fit for this match, Alexis Mac Allister has returned from suspension.

How many goals does Mohamed Salah have this season?

As we previously stated, Salah is having a scorching season, having scored 10 goals for Liverpool in 12 Premier League games.

During the November international break, he also scored four goals for Egypt in their 6-0 victory over Djibouti in the World Cup qualifying round.

‘Unbelievable’… Mo Salah says Liverpool have a player who’s shot is as powerful as Didier Drogba’s

There have been some truly unbelievable long-range shooters in Premier League history.

The likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard immediately come to mind when you think about powerful long-range shooters, while Dominik Szoboszlai is already showing he’s cut from that same cloth.

The Hungarian has an absolute rocket of a shot, and speaking on the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel, Mohamed Salah has claimed that he’s only ever seen one player with a shot as hard as Szobsozlai’s – Didier Drogba.

Szoboszlai’s shot almost as hard as Drogba’s

Salah shared his verdict on the midfielder’s shooting.

“Have you ever seen someone kick the ball as hard as Dom?” Salah was asked.

“Dom hits the ball unbelievable, maybe one, Drogba. Nobody knows how Drogba hit the ball, my god. I came to Chelsea and he came six months later and the way he hit the ball was insane. Dom is unbelievable,” Salah said.

Incredible

This is high praise.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Drogba playing Premier League football, but to compare Szoboszlai to the Ivorian is huge.

Drogba had one of the most powerful and most accurate shots we’ve ever seen in this league, and the fact that Szoboszlai is being compared to the former Chelsea striker is a testament to his ability.

Szoboszlai may only have scored one league goal for Liverpool so far, but make no mistake about it, by the time this season is over, he’ll probably have one hell of a highlight real to show off full of screamers from all over the pitch.

Szoboszlai’s shot is remarkable, and there’s a reason he’s consistently being compared with Steven Gerrard, and that’s because he has almost everything in his game.

The Hungarian is well on his way to being a world-class player, make no mistake about it.
