Man City vs Liverpool: Isak loses starting position

At 11:30 p.m. on November 9, coach Arne Slot put the most expensive striker in history, Alexander Isak, on the bench for the trip to Etihad Stadium in round 11 of the Premier League.

Isak had to make way for Hugo Ekitike.

Ranking: Manchester City is 3rd with 19 points. Liverpool is 6th with 1 point less.

Notable statistics:

• In 5 of Man City's last 7 games, the final result was the score after half-time.
• Man City's last 6 home wins have all been by a margin of 2 goals or more.
• Liverpool have not drawn any of their last 16 games in all competitions (W10 D6).
• Only one of Liverpool's last eight away games has been decided by a margin of two or more goals.

Force information:

• Man City is missing only Mateo Kovacic.
• Liverpool will be without two notable stars, Alisson and Jeremie Frimpong.

Tactical diagram

After a series of lackluster matches, Alexander Isak had to give up his central striker position to Hugo Ekitike. Supporting the French player will be Mohamed Salah, Florian Wirtz and Dominik Szoboszlai. On the other side of the battle line, Erling Haaland is in good form and ready to destroy the defending Premier League champions' problematic defense.
