Liverpool clearly has an advantage over Man City and Arsenal as things fall apart for Pep Guardiola

After four Premier League games without a victory, Man City and Pep Guardiola are in unfamiliar circumstances, and Jürgen Klopp needs a boost to get back into the title chase.

Just six months after the ups and downs of the previous campaign, Liverpool’s future appears bright. The Reds are presently two points behind Arsenal in first place in the Premier League standings.

Furthermore, Liverpool has widened their lead over longtime rival Manchester City by four points as Pep Guardiola’s team experiences a mini-crisis. With its lone league loss of the season being against Tottenham towards the end of September, Liverpool is currently unbeaten in its last eight league games after defeating Sheffield United 2-0 at Bramall Lane.

Joël Matip’s injury, which could keep the Cameroonian out for the rest of the season, is the only drawback. The defender may never play for the team again because of the ACL he tore during the 4-3 victory over Fulham. His contract expires at the end of the current campaign.

This weekend, Liverpool will be travelling south to play Crystal Palace and former manager Roy Hodgson. Although Liverpool and this season’s match ended in a draw, Jürgen Klopp will be hoping for a different result. These are two articles from Liverpool.com that you should read today.

Pep Guardiola and Man City are in unfamiliar terrain.

Up to this point in time, the terms Man City and crisis have never been mentioned in the same phrase during the Pep Guardiola era. In their last four Premier League games, Guardiola’s team is without a win. In most cases, this wouldn’t be a problem for teams in the future; hiccups are inevitable in every given league season.

But given how quickly City has progressed over the past five years, this is a significant obstacle for Guardiola’s team to clear. They are already six points behind Arsenal, and Guardiola’s jabs at commentators seem to indicate that the coach may be starting to show signs of weakness. Click here to read more from James Martin.

Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool advantage is proven by Arsenal and Man City.

In the Premier League this past week, three goals have been allowed in a single match by Arsenal and Man City. Midweek, Arsenal narrowly defeated Luton Town 4-3 on the road, and last Saturday, City and Tottenham tied 3-3.

Liverpool gave up three goals against Fulham the previous Saturday as well, but Jürgen Klopp has an advantage thanks to Alisson, the Brazilian custodian. Alisson is the best shot-stopper in the Premier League, but he was injured during the match against Fulham.

Alisson has faced 589 shots on goal in total, worth around 170.7 anticipated goals, yet he has only given up 150 goals (not including own goals). Alisson has essentially been 20 goals superior to the typical goalie, and Klopp needs to swiftly reclaim this edge.

Liverpool ready to make tremendous move for transfer of £45m midfielder

According to reports, Liverpool is going to put up a big fight to sign Nice midfield player Khephren Thuram, in a deal that might end up costing up to £45 million.

In an attempt to make multiple midfield changes, the Reds linked themselves with the Frenchman multiple times during the summer transfer window. However, a deal never materialised, as they signed Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo, and Ryan Gravenberch to replace departing stars like Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Nevertheless, Thuram is already being linked to Liverpool once more as Tutto Juve designates the Merseyside giants as significant participants in this trade drama.

They speculate that LFC might attempt to buy the 22-year-old for about £45 million. It will be intriguing to watch if they decide to prioritise adding yet another midfield player for January.

Thuram’s pursuers are Juventus and Inter Milan, but according to the source, Liverpool is now in the lead in the hunt for his signature.

Thuram appears to have a bright future as a player, so it will be interesting to see where he chooses to go for his next move. It would be great to see him play in the Premier League soon, though.
