Premier League: Liverpool returns to the wheel of City before the last day

The 2021/2022 Premier League season will have a crazy last day on Sunday, Liverpool having come within a point of Manchester City by winning on Tuesday at Southampton (2-1).

The Citizens will keep the favor of the predictions with their 90 points against 89 for the Reds and their significantly higher goal difference (+72 against +66).

The two rivals will play at home for these 90 minutes, if not a little more, decisive.

Liverpool, who will host Wolverhampton, will be counting on a big boost from their iconic former captain Steven Gerrard, now Aston Villa manager, who will travel to the Etihad.

Relegated to twelve points from the Citizens, at the end of 2021, Jürgen Klopp’s men never gave up and this strength of character was again manifested at Saint-Mary’s Stadium to capitalize on the draw (2-2) conceded to West Ham by City, Sunday.

After the exhausting FA Cup final against Chelsea (0-0, 6-5 ap. tab), Saturday, during which Mohamed Salah then Virgil van Dijk had to leave as a precaution, due to muscular alerts, Klopp had yet attempted a gamble by changing nine holders.

Only Alisson, in the cages, and Ibrahima Konaté, in defense, had started at Wembley and the midfield made up of Harvey Elliott, James Milner and Curtis Jones looked very experimental.

But eleven days before a Champions League final and against Southampton, which remained on 1 victory in its last 11 matches, that should be enough.
