Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola comments on Mourinho difficult moment 'Our job depends on results'

Rafa Benitez will most likely put his entire team behind the ball and look to stop Manchester City for as long as possible in hope of a fortuitous goal or clean sheet for Newcastle.

He did this last season and last week against Chelsea, where he was criticised for his negative style of play after Wolves drew with City after a bold attacking performance.

“Last season he did it against us away and at home,” said Pep Guardiola on Benitez’s tactics. “Everything he is going to do is because he believes it’s the best for them to get points.”

26 mins: Gray takes another pot shot, this time from about 30 yards out but it sails over the bar. 

Liverpool forced to think a tad more.

31 mins: Leicester continue to probe but the majority of shots are from long range and aren't troubling the back line or the keeper.

36 mins: Little else happening here. Sorry to say.

Doesn't look impressed, does he?

CHANCE! Salah tests Kasper Schmeichel, curling his left footed attempt from the edge of the box to the bottom right. 

Corner Liverpool.

It's eerily quiet at King Power.

GOAL! (Firmino, 44) Leicester 0-2 Liverpool 

And can you blame the crowd? They've been the second best side and Liverpool double their lead just before the break.

A corner is whipped in and Firmino beats Maddison to the ball and heads unmarked into the Leicester net.

HALF TIME: Leicester 0-2 Liverpool 

The Reds are in cruise control and take in a two goal advantage into the second half. 

They're still yet to concede in the Premier League this season and are just going from strength to strength. 

[1 September 2018 13:21 · Nathan Jacobs]

 Boring Boring Milner... 

[1 September 2018 13:25 · Nathan Jacobs]

 I shouldn't type anything, should I? 

Of course Firmino scores!
