The two giants Man City and Liverpool will play today. If “Man City” has to visit the tough opponent Nottingham Forest, “Red Brigade” only has to host the bottom team Southampton at home.
an City are going through a period of unstable form with 6 wins and 4 losses in their last 10 matches. However, their defeats have all been against strong opponents such as Arsenal, Liverpool or Real Madrid.
Despite the difficulties, Man City have made some adjustments to their squad after the winter transfer window, which has improved the midfield somewhat. Although they are not complete and are still exploited by big teams, when facing weaker opponents, their midfield is no longer a concern.
In contrast, Nottingham Forest are currently ranked above Man City in the Premier League, but their recent form has been quite erratic. After an impressive 7-0 win over Brighton, Nottingham have not won any more, with 2 defeats and 3 draws.
Nottingham Forest’s style of play focuses on solid defense and quick counter-attacks. In contrast, Man City are a team famous for their ability to decipher deep-lying defenses thanks to the unique tactical system of coach Pep Guardiola. In the first leg, Man City won 3-0 despite facing great difficulties at the time, while Nottingham Forest were in better form.
With Man City gradually returning to good form and Nottingham in decline, the result of the upcoming match can be predicted to favor the away team.
Liverpool – Southampton: 10pm, 8/3, round 28 Premier League
Southampton are facing a big risk of relegation with only 9 points after 27 matches, 13 points behind the safe zone. The team’s form is extremely weak and shows no signs of improvement. Despite a 2-1 victory over Ipswich Town in round 24, Southampton immediately suffered 3 consecutive defeats, conceding 11 goals.
In this context, Southampton will face many difficulties in the away match at Anfield. Liverpool are showing impressive form and leading the rankings with 13 points more than the second-placed team, Arsenal. While Southampton is facing a great risk of relegation, Liverpool is about to complete the goal of conquering the most prestigious tournament in the “Foggy Land”.
Liverpool may have some physical problems after the tense match with PSG in the Champions League. In the match in Paris, the “Red Brigade” still won 1-0, despite being overwhelmed by the opponent for most of the match. However, the worrying problem is that star Mohamed Salah is in Ramadan, which may affect the personal form of the Egyptian star. However, the difference between the two teams is very clear.
Liverpool have the strongest attack in the league with 66 goals scored and the second best defense with 26 goals conceded, while Southampton have the weakest attack with only 19 goals scored and the worst defense with 65 goals conceded. With superior form, class difference and home field advantage, Liverpool are fully capable of winning overwhelmingly against Southampton.
