Liverpool will need to be at their best tomorrow to gain points from Manchester City.
Following Arsenal’s victory over Brentford this evening, the Reds are no longer top of the Premier League table.
Only beating City at Anfield will allow them to reclaim their summit perch.
Fortunately, Liverpool are in excellent form and have a strong record versus the champs at home. They may also call on Darwin Nunez, who is currently one of the finest players in the division.
Nunez has scored in each of his last four appearances, including a late winner against Nottingham Forest. Speaking to Liverpool fc.com on the Uruguayan today, Mohamed Salah offered his thoughts on what Darwin deliver to Liverpool.
“Kind of different player,” says the Reds‘ Egyptian King. “We’ve never had that trait before, where he enjoys running in space. He does not enjoy having the ball in his feet, which is unusual, yet he is quite swift. “He looks at me because he knows I can easily pass the ball to him and finish the situation.”His numbers are much improving this season, which is wonderful news for us. To be fair, I usually try to follow him in training as well as the other men.
Salah compliments Nunez’s speed.
Nunez‘s lightning-fast pace is unquestionably one of his most threatening characteristics.
Liverpool have had swift forwards in the years.
Salah was a real live wire in his earlier years – and still is – while Sadio Mane was equally quick on the other flank.
Despite their quickness, neither Salah nor Mane could match Nunez’s raw speed in full flight.
Defenders are concerned about more than just his speed across the field. No opposing team wants to play against the 24-year-old because he is usually on the field.
Pace is one thing, but you need to know when to use it. Nunez does. He’s gotten smarter about where to press opponents and no longer pursues lost causes.
His finishing can sometimes be unpredictable, but the fact that he’s able to get into places that few other forwards can means that he’ll He generally gets another chance.
In terms of City, Nunez may be Liverpool‘s greatest weapon.
According to Steve Mc Manaman, Anfield personnel have been hyping up the No. 9 ahead of the game. Given City’s tendency to dominate the ball and attack, they frequently leave gaps at the back. This could be an excellent opportunity for Nunez to capitalize.
Beyond that, you get the impression that the former Benfica striker is eager to step up another level. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, Liverpool has a striker who will cause difficulties for many years.
