Liverpool vs Manchester City: Talking Tactics

Jurgen Klopp will field a traditional 4-3-3 formation and ask his men to maintain the formation throughout the game. They will try to keep possession of the ball and supply to the wingers to either cut in or provide crosses to create goal-scoring chances. Off the ball, Liverpool will try to overload the defensive line and leave no gaps to exploit.

Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, will order his side to play with a high backline. They enjoy the possession of the ball and will overload players in the midfield. City will try to move the ball quickly and produce some moments of magic apart from feeding Erling Haaland in the middle.
