When Pep Guardiola started his coaching career, Sven Goran Eriksson was still struggling with Man City, Ronaldo and Rooney were thriving at MU under the golden reign of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Over 18 years, from a talented midfielder, Pep Guardiola has risen to become one of the most successful coaches in modern football, with an eye-catching attacking philosophy, winning countless La Liga, Bundesliga, Premier League, Champions League titles with Barca, Bayern Munich and Man City.

Pep's 999th match in charge was also memorable, as Phil Foden and Haaland took turns shining, helping Man City crush Dortmund 4-1 in midweek.

Without the playmaker De Bruyne, Man City now depends more on Erling Haaland's scoring ability. Since the beginning of the season, the Norwegian striker has scored 13 times in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola also tried to change The Citizens, with technical individuals playing freely up front, coordinating well in short periods and then opening up opportunities for Haaland to finish.

As for the away team, after a series of 6 losses in 7 matches, Liverpool is showing signs of a comeback. First, they defeated Aston Villa in round 10, then defeated Real Madrid in the middle of the week.

Only a brilliant performance from goalkeeper Courtois prevented the Kop from winning by a bigger margin. After a period of chaos, Arne Slot seems to have found a winning formula for Liverpool.

The main foundation is the midfield trio Gravenberch - Mac Allister - Szoboszlai working enthusiastically and rhythmically in the midfield. Blockbuster Florian Writz was moved to the left wing and gradually became effective.

The next goal for Slot and his team is to end a streak of 3 consecutive away defeats in the Premier League. To do that, they need more boost from veterans like Salah or Van Dijk.
