The upcoming match between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield is set to be the final meeting on Merseyside between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola before Klopp’s departure from the club.
Liverpool – City are seen as ‘English El Clasico’ in the last few years
Phil Foden emphasized the significance of the upcoming title showdown, describing it as ‘massive’. He noted that Anfield is a venue where Manchester City have struggled historically, having won only two of their past 32 meetings there.
Despite the challenges posed by Anfield, Foden and his teammates are determined to rise to the occasion, especially with Liverpool leading the charge at the top of the table. Foden acknowledged the formidable challenge ahead but expressed confidence in his team’s ability to compete at the highest level.
Phil Foden in the form of his life
Focusing away from the spotlight on Kevin de Bruyne, who is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s greatest midfielders, it’s Phil Foden who has emerged as a key figure leading the charge from midfield for Manchester City this season.
The young England international has always shown promise for his team, but he has now taken on the role of the main creative force, showcasing his talent with 11 league goals so far.
In the recent Manchester derby, Foden was instrumental in Manchester City’s comeback, scoring a sublime equalizer and playing a pivotal role in the team’s second goal. His performance outshone that of his England teammate, Marcus Rashford, highlighting Foden’s ability to excel on the big stage.
As Manchester City prepare to face Liverpool at Anfield, Foden’s presence in midfield poses a significant threat to their opponents. His knack for stepping up in crucial moments makes him a player to watch out for in this highly anticipated clash.
