With the loss to Leicester City at King Power Stadium, the gap between Liverpool and the top team - Man City has now been widened to 6 points.
The Kop . attack red alert
Liverpool is probably the team that is rated 'weakest' in the tourmalet stage so far. Except for the 'nearly undefeated' season 2019/20, the rest, The Kop's fighting strength is quite meager when it has to stretch during the Christmas period. It's understandable, because the playing style of the 'Red Brigade' is to kick with all your heart, press hard, every match is a party, so it's impossible to lose your breath when 2 or 3 days later the next match is impossible. avoid.
The most obvious example is Liverpool's recent defeat against Leicester City. It is difficult for teachers and coaches Jurgen Klopp to swallow this defeat. There, people witnessed the attack of the red shirt team unable to sublimate as usual. They proved ungrateful in front of Kasper Schmeichel's goal and this is very alarming.
Many players in Liverpool's attack did not play well against the 'Foxs'. Typical of which is Sadio Mane. If you look back at what the Senegal striker has shown recently, it can be said that he is lacking in confidence. Accordingly, the star wearing the number 10 shirt has had no goals or assists in the last 9 appearances. Even in the match against Leicester, Mane wasted a golden opportunity after Jota's slot, the ball went harmlessly and confusingly over the crossbar.
Besides Mane, there is Salah, who is most expected before he returns to the national team to attend the CAN Cup. With the Egyptian striker's high form and world class, many believed that he would put Liverpool ahead from the penalty spot after 15 minutes. However, Salah could not beat the Dan goalkeeper. Circuit . Thereby, his scoring streak on the 11m mark was stopped after 4 consecutive years of success.
The fact that both Salah and Mane are empty makes Liverpool fans feel worried, especially during the stressful period of the season. Take advantage of them any day or that day and Jurgen Klopp must by all means find the excitement in the boys. Up to now, The Kop has only lost 2 matches in the Premier League, but it has created a turning point for the championship race.

One thing is for sure, no one wants to win the Premier League. arranged so early.
There was a time when The Citizens were inferior to Chelsea or Liverpool. However, the stability in form has helped Pep Guardiola's teachers and students step by step occupy a unique position in the rankings. Perhaps, the gap between the blue army and the chasing group will be even bigger this weekend because both the Blues and The Kop will have a clash at Stamford Bridge. Whether any of these two clubs admit defeat, Man City will reduce a threat to the throne.
And if Liverpool win, the Etihad team will not be too shy because in January, the power of the 'Red Brigade' will be significantly reduced when the duo Mane and Salah have to temporarily part ways. The main ball can participate in the biggest football festival in Africa. As for Chelsea, they are still struggling to find a way to solve the personnel problem at the left-back position .
In contrast, the key players of Man City can continue to accompany the club during this period. This is considered a great advantage for The Citizens to quickly break through to the throne. Besides, it is difficult to find out which team can defeat the army of blue shirts at the moment. Man City is taking every step on the way to realizing the dream of winning the 8th Premier League title in history.
