Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz of Liverpool can take advantage of Man City, according to Jurgen Klopp.

Man City and Liverpool play on Saturday afternoon at the Etihad.

Danny Murphy, a former midfielder for Liverpool, has described how Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz can take advantage of the gaps created by Manchester City’s rampaging defense.

On Saturday afternoon, the Reds make their way to the Etihad. The current Premier League champions are one point ahead of Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Before the international break, Liverpool defeated Brentford with ease. Later that day, Pep Guardiola’s team was held to a 4–4 draw at Stamford Bridge by Chelsea. Murphy thinks that last weekend’s match in the capital should provide Jurgen Klopp with some insight into how to win against City.

The former midfielder stated in the Mail that Liverpool “had a clue about how to get joy against Pep Guardiola’s side after last weekend’s 4–4 thriller at Stamford Bridge.”

“The pace of Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Jackson posed a serious threat when City pushed their defenders up and Chelsea managed to force a turnover.

“City does a lot of amazing things, but if they keep sending one of their center halves, like John Stones or Manuel Akanji, into midfield to try to control the game, there’s a risk because of the space they leave behind.”
