Just 5 minutes into the second half, Liverpool equalized. And the goal was created by Alexis Mac Allister who succeeded in executing a penalty kick and scored in the 50th minute, and the penalty kick was caused by Ederson who fouled Nunez.
It looks like in the second half the match will be even more interesting and fierce, and I hope Liverpool will make significant changes in the second half, even though Manchester City is a tough opponent, Liverpool must win this match at home. And the current score is 1-1.

The both teams are back on a level terms making it 1-1, as Liverpool just scored from a PK committed by the Manchester city goal keeper, I thought Michael Oliver would have given him a red card for that action against that Liverpool player because he was the last man standing, but a yellow card is still fair because I feel he just wants to be careful. I've said that Liverpool have had good composure in these game, and with the way things are, there is a lot to unfold in these game,  The game is now balance again for more drama.

The defense does not retreat well else that goal would have been avoided. Liverpool is down at the break but they are actually playing well and I believe they will turn things around in the second half. They dominate this first half possessively and their ball recovery is very apt but they need more intensity because there's no attempt on goal until that last free kick before the first half whistle. Bringing in Mo Salah into the game might add impact to that front because the pressing is too weak. Diaz is very indecisive, crossing is very necessary if you want to score but there's no enough yet. Manchester city is not playing to my expectation at the moment. Second half already underway, let see how it goes.

2 great modern premier league side, going toe to toe in the Jürgen Klopp final season before retiring and i have had so much fun. 2 Goals scored in an interesting half and i am sure even the Arsenal players are having a great watch. With Tottenham scoring 4 goals and the west ham tie also recording 4 goals. i have  no doubt that the city tie with Liverpool can also it a 4 goals thriller!

I'm really impressed by Liverpool's performance in the first half even if they are not winning,they are a goal down as Manchester city is leading already but then I'm still very much optimistic about their results because they performance so far has really been brilliant and incredible and they actually aren't playing with their main squad yet the performance is such that Manchester city isn't really having much chance.

Liverpool to me looks like they would be able to make come back by second half and possibly win this game, they appear to me like they are going to possibly get a comeback by the second half and win this game especially if Manchester city is still playing in this their presents pattern but if they get to apply a different strategy by the second half they may be able to see a way of staying ahead of Liverpool still because I'm sure Liverpool is definitely going to take a different dimensions in the second half, Salah may be brought in the second half a d that will mean. Game change.

Manchester city keeps allowing Liverpool to play behind their defense line and I see that as danger looming because Liverpool will not hesitate to take chances this second half unlike that which they did in the first half where they had multiple chances but lacked conversion to a goal but in this second half Liverpool may like end this game in a draw at worse Case but I doubt strongly they would loose this game.

No, Manchester City and Liverpool are both attacking with a high intensity, don't for Liverpool also scored but that was ruled offside by the linesman.
Manchester City has just made good use of the  corner chance they had to score that goal. Quick marking from Darwin Nunez would have prevented that goal from going into goal. John Stones anyways took good use of the chance he got to give Manchester City the lead in the first half of the game.
Both sides are attacking like they should do, I loved that man to man marking Virgil Van Dirk did against Erling Haaland to contain him. Nothing but pure class in that moment.

Tottenham Hotspur have just shown today they was to qualify for the Champions League Competition next season, they're now points away from Manchester United, do you think Manchester United still go a chance of beating Tottenham Hotspur?

Situation is not bad as Liverpool can still fight back with their performance in the second half because they have few good players, and they can give their best as well in first half we have good control on by both sides and their players are giving their best even stones goal give lead to Manchester City, but things can go either way in second half because Liverpool surely going to have few changes after the half-time their youngster are fail to keep ball well control and Manchester City take good advantage of this miss communication which create problems, and now they concede an early goal.

Both teams are going good and have equal chance for the win even Liverpool is conceded already a goal which was surely not good from the Liverpool players but still I am feeling we can't blame them with they are still good in this game.

 I'm certain Jurgen Klopp will not let this game pass him by so much so that even if they don't win it, they will get a draw because if the scoreline ends like this, it will be difficult to get back to the top spot and this is enough motivation to do better this second half..
Liverpool have this ability to come back from a goal down and it's safe to say that City have met their match because if this were to be Man UTD, i'm sure they would have been punished by the counter attacks of Man City but Liverpool have so far kept them in check.

I knew the game will be like this against Liverpool, because they've been in an impressive form since the beginning of the season,and it is only teams who have strong winning mentality that have been able to win them this season.Arsenal is one of those teams that have won them,and losing to Mancity today will really be bad for them as they will fall behind Arsenal and City.They will go back to third place, however,City's next game is going to be against Arsenal,and I think within these big teams,any team who is able to win between City and Arsenal in the next game game owns the tittle.

The first half has ended and Manchester City are in the lead by 1-0. This half didn't went very well for Liverpool. Manchester City started really strong and it took Liverpool some time to recover.    The goal Liverpool conceded was a really simple one by the way. They should have covered the near post much better than that.

Liverpool found some chances actually but couldn't find the target. Salah is needed on the field immediately! He can make the Liverpool attacking line much more active and dangerous. If he doesn't enter the game early I'm afraid the score gap could get bigger. 

Liverpool only briefly controlled the game, after that Manchester City controlled it until Stones' goal occurred.
Oh yes, Stones' goal came through a high-class technique from Kevin De Bruyne who took an unusual corner kick. De Bruyne chose to take a curling shot that was half horizontal and Ake held off a Liverpool player to allow a Man City player from behind to come in, coincidentally the player was Stones.

It's not fun if you just enjoy it. I enjoy while betting. The multi bet has not failed even though Manchester City has won.
Risks are normal. The important thing is fun.
Now half time.

Lack of proper communication from the Liverpool defenders cased this goal, John Stones was Lucky to have the goal scored and it looks like he De Bruyne knew that he will be free if AKE made the move, and unfortunately it works for them as they lead 1-0 at Anfield.
It is not yet over because Liverpool is not given up, this is a good sign that the match will be tough from beginning to the end because I am seeing a draw in the match if Klopp bring in Moh Sallah.

Now if Liverpool loses this it makes things quite complicated so I think in this second half they will go all out in search of the equalizer which can also leave space to Manchester City to score again but there is no other real solution to this,Liverpool has to try the hardest they can and in front of their fans they can do this against any team including Manchester City.

The draw would also affect both Liverpool and Manchester City as Arsenal won their game yesterday night and they are calmly watching this game,I think Liverpool needs to turn things around otherwise it will be difficult for them to be fighting and maintaining the first place until the end of season.

The game still has plenty of time left and there is still hope for Liverpool to equalize the score before the end of the first half, currently Liverpool are one goal behind Manchester City after Stones managed to take advantage of a corner kick to create Manchester City's first goal of the game, so far I see, although Manchester City has more deadly counterattacks but Liverpool have so far seen more attempts and even Among them are quite dangerous.

Throughout the first half Liverpool were very impressive in pressing the Manchester City defence and I think they should have stayed focused on looking at their backline, because from some counter-attacks Manchester City looked very effective and even Haaland seemed too easy to beat Van Djik who kept guarding him.
At the moment Liverpool's dominant attack comes from the left wing, it is too easy for the Manchester City defence to read and often they even have to fire shots that hit the Manchester City defenders and I think Klopp should be able to get a solution to Liverpool attack in order to break the concentration of Manchester City defenders and maybe inserting Salah could be that solution.

current score: Liverpool 0 vs 1 Manchester City

Not really. I say it's still 50:50 in ball possessions. Liverpool very often owned the ball, but the city also countered it with intensive defense. Haaland has not yet had a chance to score, but I'm glad to see Stone use a very small chance to score after he received a corner kick from De Bruyne. Liverpool has no chance other than going offensive after it was not leading the game.
Liverpool feels so difficult in attacking manchester city. City is still able showing very consistent transition from attack to the defense. This is a hard time for liverpool caused by it may be losing the game if it's not put the key players in the game. It seems like that klopp is still worrying to put salah in the main squad since the first half.
Klopp will play him start from the second half which is also a risky decision. It proves that if salah has not yet fully recovered and that's why klopp keeps him for the second half instead of giving him chance to play full time.

Manchester City used counterattacks in this match to threaten Liverpool's defensive line. The only bad thing is that City often misses chances. City win, please. It's likely that City will be able to win the game if it keeps playing well like this. Im sure liverpool will be missing another chance soon.
KDB and haaland are able to playing till the end of season which is good if city will win this game.

The two clubs are playing well, Manchester city have been able to score one goal in the first half of the match which is really a nice one for them, Manchester United have to be kind of careful, if not Liverpool might end up equalizing, they are giving Liverpool lots of opportunities which is not suppose to be like that, the best thing Manchester city should do is to tighten their defense, and score more goals. Manchester city is ahead of Liverpool but that doesn’t guarantee a win yet for them yet, we are still in the first half of the match and anything can still happen.

Michael Oliver the man for the Big occasion, a Referee with so much experience for big games.
Manchester city has been really proving their worth so far, currently leading 1-0,  the match has really been intense for both teams, as both teams have had good Chances to score goals especially Liverpool. However if Liverpool can maintain these tempo, then they will find the back of the net because they've not really been put out of composure in their ball control despite being on the losing side. Liverpool needs to work on their finishing.

Because Manchester City has managed to score first then yes, I think the match will still be won by Manchester City. Because indeed, Liverpool's problem is only about the number of key players who are still injured and therefore, Liverpool do not have enough resources to be able to beat Manchester City even though Liverpool are playing at home. To be honest, I personally also don't want Liverpool to lose this match but yes, the reality is that Manchester City will certainly put all their efforts at a moment like this to be at the top of the Premier League standings. Therefore, although I also still recognize that Liverpool are a team with above-average quality, but at this moment I only assess the fact that Liverpool are not in a fully good situation, in contrast to Manchester City, who are still in a good situation and form.

The goal scored by Manchester City was a big defensive mistake by Liverpool regardless of Nunez failure.
The positive point in this match is that Liverpool are pushing and trying to get the draw although they wasn't successful yet. Manchester City are also trying to create a good opportunity to add another goal. They know that the actual score isn't reassuring and anything could happen with the actual high rhythm.

The second half was disastrous for Aston Villa who played very impressive in the first half, in addition to having to get embarrassed for the 4 goals created at villa park by Tottenham, Aston Villa also deserves regret because they had to lose one of their players at the same time captain aston villa, a humiliating defeat to Tottenham made Aston Villa now more difficult to maintain the 4th position because as you said if Tottenham is just waiting for time to coup Aston Villa position which only has a difference of 3 points from Tottenham.

Since the league started, Aston Villa  performance has surprised many people and even unexpectedly they can beat big teams such as Manchester City and Arsenal at the beginning of the season, but somehow now it seems that Unai Emery has lost his magic wand and slowly Aston Villa has dropped out of the Premier League championship competition and even now to maintain one last ticket to the Champions League next season will be very difficult for Aston Villa after their defeat I thought the crucial match between Aston Villa and tottenham would be an attacking game between the two teams to break into each other goal,but today it seems that Aston Villa is very helpless even though they are playing at home.
