Manchester City faces tough challenge against Liverpool as struggles continue

Manchester City faces a challenging match against Liverpool on Sunday, with City struggling in 17th place in the Champions League and having lost six consecutive games. Liverpool, in contrast, leads the Premier League and has won 17 of 19 matches this season. City's difficulties stem from injuries to key players, including Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne, and tactical issues under manager Pep Guardiola. The team has failed to adapt its strategy despite the injuries, leading to poor performances. Concerns about City's transfer strategy have also emerged, as the squad lacks depth, particularly in midfield and attack. The upcoming verdict on financial breaches may also be affecting team morale as they navigate a tough season.
