Manchester City is facing a significant threat to their Premier League title ambitions as they head to Liverpool for a crucial match.
Last week, City was held to a draw by Tottenham, a result that seemed unlikely at halftime when they were two goals up. However, Pep Guardiola witnessed Dominic Solanke secure a draw, costing them valuable points.
