Jurgen Klopp’s Struggling Reds Look to Turn Season Around Against Defending Champions
Liverpool host Manchester City this afternoon in a highly anticipated matchup of last season’s Premier League title contenders. Despite their narrow loss to City by a single point last year, Liverpool have had a rocky start to the current campaign, sitting 11th in the table with only two wins from their first eight matches. This marks their worst start to a Premier League season in a decade, leaving them already 13 points adrift of Pep Guardiola’s leaders.
Jurgen Klopp, after last weekend’s 3-2 defeat to Arsenal, conceded that Liverpool’s title hopes are all but over for this season. However, he remains focused on finding the right formula to navigate ongoing injuries and adapt his traditional 4-3-3 formation as he seeks a much-needed turnaround.
