The Premier League battle reignited as the summit clash resurfaced! In the early hours of Monday morning (11th), the title fight between Manchester City and Liverpool was fiercely staged, resulting in a 2-2 handshake. Nevertheless, Man City is still leading the table with a one-point advantage. The next 7 rounds of league matches between these two top teams will undoubtedly be more exciting! Analyzing the remaining fixtures of the two sides, both the rankings of their opponents and their recent conditions are extremely close, so it seems that the "Eclipse Index" is not even. However, if we look at the results of both teams in the same matches last season, Manchester City will have the last laugh with an 8-point advantage!
Manchester City was forced to draw at home by Liverpool after taking the lead twice, and the leader of the team, Gordiona, was remorseful after the match: "I think I let Liverpool off the hook, they are a strong team. But as a member of Manchester City, I am proud of the team's performance and I don't want the players to feel lost. We know how tough the rest of the league is and any loss of points could cost us the title, but Liverpool face the same challenge."
British media analyzed the remaining matches of the two teams and found that in the last 7 rounds of matches, each team has 4 home matches and 3 away matches. In terms of opponent ranking, Man City's opponents have an average ranking of 12.4 and Liverpool's opponents have an average ranking of 11, which is not a big difference. In terms of opponents' recent form, both teams have scored 23 points in the last 3 rounds. In terms of home and away games, rankings and recent form, the "Eatability Index" of the two teams' fixtures is almost the same.
However, a mysterious statistic is extremely favorable to Manchester City. Based on both teams' results in the same tournament last season (20/21), City will have 4 wins, 3 draws and 15 points in the last 7 rounds, while Liverpool will only have 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses and 8 points, which includes three losses to Ewarton, Aston Villa and Southampton, which will undoubtedly put them under psychological pressure.
Man of the match, Manchester City midfielder Chivun Dibny said, "We played quite a good game today and are in a favorable position at the moment. It will be difficult to win all the remaining matches, but we will still give our best. Today's performance is the level we should be playing at for future matches."
