The Premier League s top four competition is in chaos. Five teams have the same points, and Liverpool s ranking has dropped to 8th.

The 11th round of the Premier League ushered in a game, and Liverpool challenged Manchester City as a guest. Liverpool only achieved a record of 6 wins and 4 losses in the first 10 league games, and the gap with Arsenal at the top is not small. Liverpool only lost a total of 4 games last season. They did not expect to lose 4 games so quickly this season. Defending the title is extremely difficult. However, in the Champions League match in midweek, Liverpool achieved a very morale-boosting victory, defeating the top giants Real Madrid. Now that they are back in the league, Liverpool will continue to face strong opponents. This time the opponent is Manchester City led by Guardiola. As a result, Liverpool was severely humiliated and lost by 3 goals!

Liverpool has a 4231 formation. Ekitic was at the front. The attacking combination of Wirtz, Szoboszlai and Salah worked together. McAllister and Hrafenberch partnered as a double defensive midfielder. The back four of Robertson, Van Dijk, Konate and Connor Bradley started. Mamardashvili serves as the starting goalkeeper. Isaac, Gakpo and Chiesa sat on the bench.

Perhaps because they consumed too much energy in the previous game against Real Madrid, Liverpool lacked aggressiveness after the start of this game and was at a slight disadvantage on the scene. Mamardashvili made a big mistake in the penalty area and gave Manchester City a penalty kick. But he made up for it and saved Haaland's penalty kick. However, then Liverpool still lost the ball. Haaland scored with a header. Although Van Dijk later scored with a header, it was ruled out because Robertson interfered with the goalkeeper due to his offside position. Nico Gonzalez's goal made Liverpool's situation worse. Liverpool trailed 0-2 at halftime. Liverpool had 43% of the ball in the first half and only had 3 shots, none of which were on target. Manchester City had 6 shots in the first half, 4 of which were on target, and 2 goals were scored.

Gakpo missed a good opportunity in the second half, and then Liverpool lost the ball again. Dokun cut in and scored. Doku's game was truly amazing, eclipsing other stars. Both Szoboszlai and Salah had very good chances, but neither of their shots scored. Slott was at his wits end. The final score was fixed at 0-3, and Liverpool lost miserably to Manchester City.

Liverpool has lost 5 of 6 consecutive league games, and its ranking has continued to decline, falling to the current 8th place. The Premier League's race for the top four is very confusing. Tottenham, Aston Villa, Manchester United, Liverpool and Bournemouth all have 18 points, ranking 5th to 9th. These five teams are only 1 point away from the Champions League zone. In fourth place is Sunderland, with 19 points.
