Premier League LIVE: Man City looking at unwanted record

Manchester City are without a win in six games, with five consecutive defeats followed by a 3-3 Champions League draw against Feyenoord on Tuesday, when City blew a 3-0 lead in the final 15 minutes.

Liverpool are just relentless in their approach. The goal came quite early for Arne Slot’s team but they are not letting the momentum slow down even a bit. Salah with a good chance and Van Djik’s header missed the goal by a whisker. This can get quite bad for Manchester City.

Premier League LIVE: Gakpo scores

What a goal and Liverpool have scored the opener! Just 12 minutes in and Cody Gakpo has scored the first goal of the match. A brilliant ball found Mohamed Salah who timed his run to perfection and a measured pass found Cody Gakpo who just had to tap the ball inside the goal.

Premier League LIVE: Save from Ortega

It has been a solid start from Liverpool. Another good move down the middle and this time, the shot from Szoboszlai was too weak as Ortega saved it comfortably. Manchester City will be relieved as their defense is already looking quite shaky.
