EPL: Liverpool battle Man City hoping to extend leadership

Table toppers, Liverpool travel to the Etihad Stadium tomorrow to take on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City looking to extend their lead further at the top after a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa as Arsenal lost all three points to visiting West Ham United at the Emirates stadium today.

On the other hand, Manchester City will look to close the gap with the third-placed Nottingham Forest who are away to Newcastle United.

However, before Sunday’s encounter, Liverpool manager Arne Slot said that his side is not feeling the pressure of winning the title.

He also stated that Liverpool always want to do well since they never want to disappoint the ardent supporters, who keep on singing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ at the Anfield or at their respective homes.

“You assume that we feel pressure, which we do every single day we are working at this club, because we know what this shirt means, what the club has done in the past. So, we always feel the pressure of doing the best possible job we can. But we are not so much focused on what other people constantly talk about, and that is the league table,” Arne Slot said in an interview.

“We are feeling the pressure of playing a difficult away game against City. But for us, every game is difficult because you saw last Sunday when we played Wolves. That was a difficult game for us as well. So, yes, we feel the pressure because we wear this shirt, but that has nothing to do with the league table at the moment,” he added.
