An-Najah News - A  big match of the Premier League weekend, Manchester City and Liverpool played out an entertaining 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

However, only one of them can truly be considered genuine contenders for the title this season, as while Pep Guardiola appears to be curing City’s defensive problems, it’s their attack that now needs urgent intervention.

Despite Guardiola’s concerns about Liverpool’s front three, City largely neutralized them particularly during a controlled second half although it could have been a different story had the Reds exploited the hosts’ backline with sharp, insightful movement and quick transitions as they have done in the past.

City’s defense is proving they aren’t doomed. Arsenal so long seen as the hopeless case of Premier League defending have conceded fewer goals than any other team so far this season and is evidence that such structural issues can be remedied.
