Transcripts
four changes from Liverpool from last
time out against Nottingham Forest outg
go gapo Clark Robertson and canate inl
Nunes Konza endo and Zas Li and that is
arguably Liverpool's strongest team they
can pick without Muhammad Salah Elliot
will come in on that right side of
attack for Muhammad Salah but just keep
an eye on that Midfield that is where
the battle can be won and lost today
let's have a look at the Champions
Robbie well a couple of changes He's got
everybody F apart from Jack Gish um just
going to that point I think julen
Alvarez the most likely to play on that
left hand side but one player we haven't
mentioned Rebecca rodri number 16 there
what a player what a season he's having
possibly going to be uh the player of
the Season we'll see but that is a very
strong City side thank you and welcome
On Any Given Match Day anfield a truly
special place today it's more even than
that everything magnified the noise the
vibrancy the passion the sense of
expectation ramped up a KN or two and
First Blood Manchester City who won the
toss of the coin and have turned
Liverpool round so they're having to
attack the cot end in the first
half and Liverpool have started really
with a very very high
press it's interesting as well JN and we
talked about where stones with plays
already trying to get into that Midfield
area here's Bernardo Silva and now
Julian Alvarez and Alvarez tests the
handling of Quine kellerer earling
Harland
Alvarez and Alvarez finds de bruyne who
loves it towards the back post de bruyne
will have a go and stings the palms of
ker this
time and Alvarez is pulled up for a foul
on
Bradley in their last 55 home lead
games seriously from Van DIY to
Bradley and Connor Bradley's done really
well to the extent that Nunes was almost
able to turn it in instead he collides
painfully with the upright
Diaz expectant there's Nunes awkward
cross to deal
with kalister it's Darwin nun and it's
turned in by Diaz but it will not
count still to be checked but as of now
the decision on the field offside yeah
we're looking at one if not two off
sides the first one Le and I both looked
at each other Dar again he's just a
little bit too eager just gets ahead of
the ball you can see he's clearly
offside there on that one he didn't need
to go he's well the second one actually
isn't offside but that doesn't matter
all that work before the ball even comes
near him de bruer and
Stones Manchester City and the ones who
celebrate it's still to be
checked but an inventive Corner
variation and the alert player on the
field Jon
stones and if you just look he just runs
into that space there's a little bit of
a hole AK does brilliantly well to push
mallister out the way just there just
looking him pushing him away nunz
where's mck keeper too late near post
1-0
City the most rapid of quick thinking
and training ground preparation the
issue they were checking was whether the
corner actually went out of play and
then curve back in it didn't Jon Stones
has scored for the first time this
season and what a time to do
it there's a a nod to the setpiece coach
on the bench whoever worked that one
out yeah that's that's it's fine to do
that it's just a very well executed set
piece
nun
Diaz forced wide by rodri Stones
involved at the other end and rodri able
to clear and now belatedly again up goes
the
flag
Elliot in
beautifully and it demanded a finish of
Dominic
sosai
and now City can break with Harland and
vanand djk how does he deal with
him the answer is he doesn't really
except he does manage to hold him
up
mallister
saos
Diaz to bounce off a couple of players
and then worried Edison with his
drive that negated their presence
however he didn't see Harlem
coming it's julan
Alvarez Cur no further time beyond the
seti over which St got to change the
angle and sosl in the end showed a fair
bit of personal
ambition Endo had the ball could have
played nun in who's playing right on the
line he was offside five times in the
first half if he can just stay the right
side of the line well now he's with a
chance and that is a
penalty uruan offended by a Brazilian
goalkeeper who was scrambling and
Liverpool have an anfield Lifeline
here well a is looking at his goalkeeper
Edison and it's a yellow card right in
the Lurch there you needed to put more
on that and there's not enough on it and
he knows it Nunes he knows he's going to
get clovered he knows he's going to get
there first he he waiting for the hit
but Michael Oliver had almost pointed to
the
[Applause]
spot Alexis M and Outfield comes alive
again a wall of Lian
noise animation everywhere you look and
plenty of Hope
too you've got half a chance of score
and he does that guesses the right way
Edison Graham but we don't save
them well sometimes brought dead look
today so the first substitution of this
game involves the Champions
goalkeeper Edison unable to
continue and the chairman second string
Stephan orer is going to get his day in
the
Limelight moment of significant
sloppiness
de bruyne lovely ball foden daylight
blocked out by Keller well how quick was
he off his line there F will be
disappointed with
that
Diaz couple of attempts to bring him
down nun Diaz and he couldn't bring the
ball under his spell when it was
returned to him by
[Applause]
Nunes
n finds Salah another full in motion now
and that's the ball it's Lis Diaz
one-onone not lead by 12 wins to
11
Nunes it's a beauty of a ball it's Diaz
and again no finish and no flag either
which some were
anticipating
just over van dijk it comes to Salah and
again keeps it alive for Alexis
mallister now Diaz mallister a third
time Guardiola has gone to the back of
the Dugout down below us and is talking
to Kevin De bruyne here's Robertson that
was
nun Liverpool knocking insistently at
Manchester City's door
H foden's made a run and kellerer puns
the ball onto foden onto the bar and
behind I mean that was just bizarre
wasn't it we talk about goalkeepers
coming off their
line br will strike and Orga managed to
push it away from oncoming red
shirts Andy
Robertson and Virgil Van djk got his
head to it
bodden
Harland
dku Jeremy dku inside of the upright and
out again fine fine margins
okay
Elliot Salah flag is up and gap's
blushes are
spared
up is loed for
Endo and gakpo still Cody gakpo Muhammad
Salah was the
aoul not according to the referee
Michael Oliver it is subject to a
check certainly Salah thinks he got some
sort of action on the back of his heel I
think that could be my man of the match
there Endo did brilliantly to get a
flick on and then it just gakpo can't
quite get an angle for himself for the
shot feed
Salah eight goals at anfield Robertson's
kick on the way Diaz Rising with van
dijk mallister goes in and is caught
around the chest Salah tries to dig the
ball out there another penalty check
underway his foot just catches the ball
before it clear clears it off the chck
of mallister and the slight follow
through has caught the midfielder I
think that's about right gra aren't you
yeah completely agree
Robertson what a terrific game honors
even spoils shared Arsenal top with 10
fences to jump in the most fascinating
of
races maybe the final Embrace between
two managerial Titans who have treated
us again as they have treated treated us
so frequently before to a game of the
very highest
[Applause]
quality it doesn't really take us much
nearer to knowing who's most likely to
win the title it leaves Arsenal top of
the pile it was engrossing thoroughly
entertaining full of moments worthy of
further comment kits side desk on the
way with the leading characters
