Is Liverpool City biggest rivalry? I don't know but it's tough - Klopp

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s low finish ten minutes from time earned Liverpool a point against Manchester City as the Premier League‘s top two played out a 1-1 draw.

A relatively even contest never quite burst into life at the Etihad Stadium as two familiar foes kept each other largey in check.

Erling Haaland had put Manchester City into a first half lead, latching on to a through ball from Nathan Ake after an errant clearance from Alisson before firing into the bottom corner past the Brazilian goalkeeper.

It was the Norwegian’s 50th Premier League goal, the striker achieving the mark in his 48th game to comfortably break Andy Cole’s record.

And Haaland very nearly added a second a matter of moments before Alexander-Arnold equalised up the other end, Alisson’s block crucial and sparking the counter attack from which the right back neatly tucked home.

The draw ends a 23-match winning run at home for Manchester City, who could be overhauled at the top of the table if Arsenal beat Brentford later on Saturday.

Liverpool are growing and growing. A superb cross from Dominik Szoboszlai nearly travels all the way through to Darwin Nunez, with Ruben Dias’s toe timely, before Virgil van Dijk directs a header into Ederson’s midriff.

A Nathan Ake sliding tackle takes a nick off Darwin Nunez’s boot but a corner is given, with Pep Guardiola therefore relieved that his defence is once more well formed. Manchester City don’t quite clear their lines, but Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland pincer Joel Matip to clear.

Kyle Walker isn’t afforded the same attacking freedom he used to be but he’s still such a threat when he does come forward, that effortless turn of speed shown as he latches on to a diagonal. Erling Haaland is, perhaps, slightly too far withdrawn, though, and Walker fails to find a teammate after controlling.

An authoritative header from Erling Haaland to clear Tsimikas’s inswinger. The Norwegian does make a pretty imposing front post pillar.

Nathan Ake is forced to turn the ball behind as he is caught out by the flight of a chipped pass to Mohamed Salah. Kostas Tsimikas to take.

Changes for Liverpool: Diogo Jota has hurt himself and limps off, and Curtis Jones is coming off, too. Luis Diaz and Ryan Gravenberch enter the fray.

An excellent take from Ederson, thrusting his hands out to pluck a floated corner out of the air. His throw fails to find Phil Foden but Manchester City’s next attack is rather more threatening, Jeremy Doku burning Alexis Mac Allister, whose cynical tug back fails to end the Belgian’s charge.

Doku finds Julian Alvarez, who fires on goal first-time with his left boot, but doesn’t get an ideal connection and sends his effort over the bar.

A Liverpool free kick is cleared reasonably easily by Manchester City. The visitors come again through Mohamed Salah, but though he nutmegs Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji is across in time to shepherd the ball behind for a goal kick. Those two left-sided Manchester City defenders have combined well in partnership so far.

Liverpool have a momentary fright as a Nathan Ake handball goes unspotted by Chris Kavanagh, but the referee whistles soon enough on advice from an assistant to halt Ake’s attempt to release a teammate into space up the left.

Manchester City get going immediately after the interval, threatening both edges but not making a telling burst. Nathan Ake is tugged back and falls theatrically to the floor, ensuring a just free kick.
