Manchester city are starting the season as favourites for the English premier league they are challenged by Liverpool who won the champions league last season. Last season the premier league experienced one of the best title races in a while with Manchester city just edging Liverpool by a point.The battle raged on till the last matchday of the premier league and city were finally crowned as the champions.
This season however Liverpool have not strengthened and it wouldn't be wrong to say they don't have the same type of bench strength as Manchester City and it looked more like Liverpool overperformed last season. They had a lot of lucky breaks last season such as the late winner against everton which was caused by a goalkeeping howler by Jordan Pickford and a lot of penalty calls going there way. They were also assisted by the refs mistake such as failing to give a blatant offside.These incidents would not be possible this season due to the application of VAR.
Liverpool would hope to challenge Man city again this season but not bolstering the squad was a massive mistake. The problem would start if any of their front three or Van dijk got injured. They don't have the same calibre players to replace them and it would really put pressure on Klopp and his tactics . Knowing that Kevin de Bruyne is returning to city after an injury crisis last season City would be stronger than ever and they have enough quality players on the bench to back up their first 11
