Gary Lineker has said on Match of the Day on BBC One (April 2, 2022) that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have won just once in their last 10 matches against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The former Tottenham Hotspur and Everton striker shared the fact live on MOTD while discussing the Premier League title race between Liverpool and Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s City are a point clear of second-placed Liverpool.
The two sides will face each other in the Premier League next weekend.
The game will be held at the Etihad Stadium.
Alarming Liverpool stat v Manchester City
Former City right-back Richards said on Match of the Day on BBC One (April 2, 2022): “I just feel that Man City have the edge because the game next week is at the Etihad.”
Lineker: “Liverpool have only won once in the last 10 at the Etihad.”
Richards: “Are you trying to jinx it?”
Lineker: “You told me that earlier.”
Richards: “But I didn’t want to share it on it.”
Lineker: “I know you didn’t want to share because you thought it would jinx it, and now you are accusing me. I am just giving you a fact.”
Big game
In our opinion, the match between Liverpool and Manchester City will be massive in terms of the Premier League title race.
However, we do not think that it will be decisive.
There is still a lot of football to be played, and both Liverpool and City could still drop points.
Yes, we know that Liverpool and City operate like machines and do not tend to drop too many points, but you never know how the final weeks of the season will pan out.
Liverpool do not have a great record at the Etihad Stadium, but we cannot rule out a win for the Reds against City.
