Liverpool FC's struggles highlight brilliance of Pep Guardiola rebuild at Man City

Manchester City haven't had the greatest start to the season but they are in dreamland compared to their great rivals Liverpool.

Yes, City may have been held to a couple of draws and been given some scares by teams they should be handily beating but they do remain undefeated in all competitions. Their Champions League campaign got off to a perfect start this week as they handled a potentially tricky trip to Sevilla with ease, winning 4-0. With Borussia Dortmund at home and a double-header against FC Copenhagen to come, the Blues already have one foot in the knockout stages.

A short trip along the M62 and things are nowhere near as rosy. Liverpool have lost just four games in 2022 but two of them have come this season already. They're currently sat down in seventh place in the Premier League, they have lost to a Manchester United side that was on the verge of crisis, been held to draws by Fulham, Crystal Palace and Everton and have only managed to defeat Bournemouth and Newcastle.
