Gary Neville’s Cantona Comparison Is A Fair Warning For Liverpool Ahead Of City

Why Neville’s Anfield Warning For Liverpool Carries Some Truth Sunday’s meeting with Manchester City is being treated as more than another heavyweight fixture. Much of the country outside Manchester would happily see City beaten, and that outside goodwill has only added to the sense of occasion building around Anfield this week.

For Liverpool and Andoni Iraola, that support is a double edged sword. It raises the stakes rather than easing them, and it means a routine defeat would sting far more than it normally would.

City Arrive In Ominous Form Strip away the emotion and the underlying form makes uncomfortable reading for Liverpool supporters. Enzo Maresca’s Manchester City have won every one of their Premier League matches so far this season and currently look the more settled, organised team of the two.
