The recent rivalry between Manchester City and Liverpool is one of the biggest rivalries in Premier League history.
The two teams have gone head to head on the pitch, engaging in two epic title battles in recent years.
Manchester City beat Liverpool by a point in 2018/19 and 2021/22. The rivalry extended to off-field issues.
Kieran Maguire has told footballinsider247.com that Liverpool are putting pressure on the Premier League to make a decision in their Premier League run against Manchester City.
The European champions face 115 charges of breaching Premier League financial rules. City’s case is currently being heard by an independent commission after the Premier League Treble winners were charged.
All parties involved want a solution to the Manchester City case, but it will take time to solve the problem. The Premier League’s lawsuit against Manchester City is so complex that there may not be a resolution anytime soon.
Martin Ziegler told The Times that the City case could take two to four years to resolve. Saturday’s game between City and Liverpool was originally scheduled to kick off at 5.30pm.
The local security advisory team, including Manchester Police, refused to allow the match to be played at the original kick-off time. After several incidents involving crowds last season, the kick-off time was changed to 12.30pm due to safety concerns.
On the field, the two clubs enjoyed a rivalry that raised the level of the Premier League. Now the competition has extended beyond the field. All these factors make it a must see.
