Do Man City and Liverpool have a rivalry?
While not traditional rivals like Manchester United and Liverpool, this fixture has grown in significance over the past decade.
Man City’s rise as title contenders has seen their games with the Reds in the Premier League take on extra importance.
In 2018/19, Man City edged Liverpool to the Premier League title by a single point, with the Reds going on to become league champions the following season as the two teams swapped positions on the table.
The 2021/22 season was another close one between these clubs as City once again claimed the title after accruing one more point than Liverpool.
In 2023/24, after their draw in November, the two were separated by just a point at the top of the Premier League table. Ahead of their match on March 8 at Anfield, the gap at the top is still just one point, in Liverpool’s favour.
