I think this concerns the coverage of the rivalry between Pep and Klopp and our dismal record at Anfield rather more than the title race, though there may well be a connection. I have been looking at City-Liverpool matches in the time Pep has been at City. I have confined my attention to PL matches and not taken FA cup, League cup or CL matches into consideration. In the league the teams have met 15 times in this period, 8 times at the Etihad and 7 at Anfield. At the Etihad City hav e won 4 and drawn 4. Klopp's Liverpool has never won a league match at the Etihad. They have taken 4 points in 8 games and scored only 6 goals to our 19! In the Pep years (so far) we have actually taken 5 points in one game fewer and though Liverpool have taken 14 points they have only outscored us by 8 to 7! Other City managers have not done at all well against Liverpool but Pep's record at Anfield is much better than Klopp's at the Etihad.

Tomorrow's game is, of course at Anfield but some conclusions are relevant. It does appear that Anfield and the crowd are an advantage to Liverpool and maybe even a decisive advantage because only once have City lost by more than one goal and that was the 3-1 defeat in November 2919. When Liverpool had no crowd they lost 4-1 in February 2021. The games are usually very tight and can turn on one moment of brilliance ... or one mistake as last year.
 
apart from the shit sides in the bottom 3 every game feels unpredictable this year definitely going to be some many points dropped by all 3 sides before the end
