Why Man City can expect a different kind of Premier League title race this season

The 2021/22 Premier League title race was a close-run affair between Manchester City and Liverpool. It went down to the last game, and City lifted their fourth Premier League title of the last five years following a dramatic comeback win against Aston Villa.

There were a number of similarities in style of play between the City and Liverpool sides of the 2021/22 campaign. They both enjoyed dominating possession and suffocating their opponents by playing a brand of football which requires an extremely high intensity.

Partly due to these similarities, both Premier League fixtures between Liverpool and Manchester City last season produced 2-2 draws while their FA Cup semi-final saw a narrow 3-2 win for eventual cup winners Liverpool.
