MANCHESTER, England (AP) \u2014 Manchester City hosts Liverpool on Sunday, setting the stage for the latest showdown between the Premier League’s most dominant teams in recent years. <\/p>\n
Both teams have had their problems this season, but they achieved a remarkable win in the Champions League in midweek.<\/p>\n
Last season’s Premier League champions Liverpool Overwhelmed Real Madrid<\/span> The 1-0 scoreline did not reflect the superiority of Arne Slot’s team.<\/p>\nCity followed this up with a 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Phil Foden scores 2 goals<\/span> And Erling Haaland scored his 27th goal of the season for club and country.<\/p>\nCity and Liverpool have shared the last eight titles in England, but both have played Catch up with league leaders Arsenal<\/span>the pressure will be even higher in Sunday’s game.<\/p>\nIf second-placed City lose, they could open up a nine-point lead over the Gunners. Liverpool are in third place and could be 10 points behind if they lose for the fifth time this season.<\/p>\n
“Arsenal are as consistent as anyone,” City manager Josep Guardiola said. \u201cBut the season is so long that you have to be there (near the top) and see what happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
major matches<\/h2>\n
Arsenal could extend their lead ahead of Man City’s match against Liverpool, who travel to Sunderland on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Manchester United, unbeaten in four games, face Tottenham on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Without a manager and without a win, Wolverhampton sit bottom of the table and will face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
Featured players<\/h2>\n\n
Guardiola says Foden is back to his best following his impressive performance in City’s win over Dortmund.<\/p>\n
There are growing calls for veteran striker Danny Welbeck to be recalled to the England squad after his impressive start to the season. He scored six goals for Brighton and has emerged as a strong candidate for Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad. <\/p>\n
Activity suspended<\/h2>\n
Rodri has just returned from a hamstring injury and missed City’s win against Dortmund, raising doubts about his availability on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Liverpool were once again without England international Alexander Isak due to a groin injury in midweek, but Slott was hopeful the Sweden international could play a role against City.<\/p>\n
Arsenal’s Victor Gokeres suffered a muscular injury against Burnley and did not feature in midweek’s win over Slavia Prague.<\/p>\n
off the field<\/h2>\n
Wolves need to start winning soon or risk being pushed to the bottom of the table. The main task is to find a coach who is willing to take on a task that seems more difficult week by week.<\/p>\n
Former manager Gary O’Neill has reportedly withdrawn from talks to return to the club. According to reports, former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag and Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards are also being considered. <\/p>\n
