In this Sunday's (10th) Premier League fixture, Liverpool will welcome a fierce confrontation with Manchester City, which is also the first meeting between the two sides this season. In this marquee match, the play of Darwin Nunes and Chiyonji Bunyi will have a direct impact on the outcome of the match. Together they have contributed 12 goals in all competitions since 2024, making them the highest scoring duo in the Premier League this season. This year's battle for the "king of creativity" seems to be between these two players.
In their last match in the Europa League, Liverpool thrashed Sparta Prague by a score of 5-1, with two solo goals scored by Dawuniunis. He has played 12 games for Liverpool in all competitions this season, contributing 12 goals, eight of which have been goals and four assists. The 24-year-old Uruguayan international has scored 16 goals in 39 games this season, surpassing his total from last season, and has successfully shed the label of "waterboy".
Chiyun Dibny, on the other hand, was injured in August last year and didn't return until January this year, but his form hasn't suffered. He has made 11 appearances this season and contributed 12 goals as well, including 2 goals and 10 assists, which is even more efficient than Dawunyunis.
It's worth noting that Chiyun Dibny has scored a goal and contributed three assists in each of his last two matches against Liverpool. In contrast, Dhauniunis has only scored one goal and assisted once in five games against Manchester City since joining Liverpool. The stats suggest that Chieuwdiebny has the edge in this matchup.
