Pep Guardiola: I will always stand up for human beings who are suffering

Liverpool host Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon, with Pep Guardiola’s side looking to stay within touching distance of Arsenal after the Gunners’ win over Sunderland.

The rivalry between City and Liverpool has defined the Premier League title race in recent seasons and it could do so again in 2025/26, with City starting the day nine points adrift of the Gunners after last week’s disappointing draw to Spurs. The visitors know that a win at Anfield is vital this weekend if they want to keep pressure on the league leaders, though they face a difficult test as they travel to Merseyside.

The Reds have lost just one of their last 16 matches in all competitions despite a run of mixed performances, though their 4-1 win over Newcastle last week suggests that Arne Slot’s side might be close to turning a corner as they hunt Champions League qualification.
