Manchester City suffered their third Premier League defeat of the campaign at the hands of Liverpool on Sunday.
The Anfield outfit ran out 3-1 winners to move nine points clear of City, dealing a huge blow on the title chances of Pep Guardiola’s side.
City pipped Liverpool to the title last season with just a point, retaining their league prize as a result.
However, they now have a mountain to climb following their latest defeat, and it will be interesting to see how they respond to the disappointment.
Man. City missed the influences of French centre-back Aymeric Laporte and goalkeeper Ederson against Liverpool, and Daily Mail’s Ian Herbert wrote a detailed and analytic article about defenders who can defend being the Catalan’s blind spot.
