Liverpool Still Unbeaten at Anfield
Liverpool destroyed Sparta Prague 5-1 in Thursday’s Europa League round of 16 matchup. The Reds led 3-0 at halftime and Darwin Nuñez scored on two superb strikes.
Mo Salah also made a cameo and had a goal called back for offside after missing six of Liverpool’s last seven matches. With the dominant win, Jurgen Klopp will be able to rest some of his key EPL player’s for next week’s second leg.
Of course, Liverpool are also in first place in the Premier League table, with 63 points through 27 matches. Anfield is not a place Liverpool typically lose at, as they’re 11-2-0 at home in the Premier League this season, In fact, they haven’t lost at home in any competition since February 2023.
Unfortunately, Ibrahima Konate left Thursday’s match with a muscle problem and it’s unclear whether the French center back will be good to go for Sunday.
It’s yet another injury setback for a Liverpool side that has struggled with injuries for the last few months. Joel Matip, Thiago, Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota are all out. Meanwhile, midfielders Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones might not return until after the international break.
Klopp has adjusted and given young players opportunities in recent weeks. Liverpool even won the recent EFL Cup final over Chelsea during the worst of their injury crisis.
Man City Extend Unbeaten Streak to 20 Games
Manchester City led Copenhagen 3-1 at halftime of Wednesday’s Champions League match and proceedings finished that way. Julian Alvarez provided an assist for Manuel Akanji and scored within the first 10 minutes.
City conceded in the 29th minute but Erling Haaland got his goal before halftime. City ended up winning 6-2 on aggregate and the defending UCL champions easily advanced to the Quarter-Final.
Matheus Nunes suffered a horrific dislocated finger injury in the match but it shouldn’t keep him out very long, if at all. Meanwhile, Jack Grealish also missed the match with a nagging groin injury that could keep him out this weekend.
City are 18-2-0 in their last 20 EPL games overall, regardless, and have been peaking at just the right time. City defeated rivals Manchester United 3-1 in last Sunday’s Manchester Derby.
Man City trailed 1-0 at halftime and Man United went into the match on a 143 game unbeaten streak when they led at halftime. City broke that streak as Phil Foden scored a brace and Haaland added an insurance goal.
Man City do have one of the toughest EPL schedules over the next few games. They play four of the top six teams in the table over the next seven matchdays. Still, they are -115 favorites to win the EPL title once again.
