"Liverpool finally broke their Premier League hoodoo of 2026 last weekend. After a run of four straight draws and a gut‑wrenching defeat to Bournemouth, Arne Slot's team rediscovered their cutting edge by sweeping aside Newcastle United. Despite falling behind to an early Anthony Gordon effort, the Reds roared back through a dazzling display from Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz, ultimately cruising to a 4‑1 win."
"Their comeback qualities have become a defining characteristic: since the start of the 2024-25 season, only three teams have taken more points after conceding the opening goal. The goals have started to flow at an alarming rate for opponents too. Liverpool have smashed home 15 goals in their last four fixtures across all competitions, fuelled by their six‑goal demolition of Qarabag, a three‑goal win over Marseille, and their recent flurry against Newcastle and Bournemouth."
Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield while sitting four places and eight points behind Pep Guardiola's side. The club's recent league form reads one win, four draws and one defeat across six matches. Liverpool produced a 4-1 comeback win over Newcastle, with Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz prominent. The team has scored 15 goals in its last four fixtures across all competitions, including a six-goal win over Qarabag and a three-goal victory over Marseille. A top-five spot remains elusive, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Brentford and Sunderland close in the table. Joe Gomez is a fitness doubt and several players remain sidelined through thigh and knee injuries.
