Liverpool faces Manchester City in a crucial showdown this weekend that could potentially decide the title.
While Klopp and Guardiola might still engage in a strategic battle in this year's FA Cup final, this weekend's thrilling encounter will mark the last time they go head-to-head with crucial Premier League points on the line, along with the outright control of the title race.
Thanks to their most recent winning goal in the Premier League, and the 10th latest in the competition's history since data became available, the crown currently rests in Liverpool's hands. Darwin Nunez delivered an extraordinary 99th-minute header to secure a victory against Nottingham Forest last weekend, also marking Liverpool's first Premier League win at the City Ground.In six of Liverpool's last seven matches at Anfield, a minimum of three goals has been scored against the opposition. However, with the hosts securing only one clean sheet in their last nine home fixtures, an equally formidable Manchester City team has every reason to envision themselves as potential spoilers.
Commencing the month of March with consecutive high-profile Premier League clashes, Guardiola's squad experienced an upset with a Marcus Rashford goal against Manchester United last weekend. Nevertheless, sharpshooters Phil Foden (two goals) and Erling Haaland, making amends for one of the competition's most notable misses, completed City's anticipated comeback.
