Liverpool under Arne Slot remains unstoppable, and their 2-0 victory over Manchester City not only confirmed their dominance in the Premier League but also created a moment of tension that will echo worldwide. The Anfield crowd aimed an ironic chant at Pep Guardiola: "You'll be sacked in the morning." The Catalan manager’s reaction was more telling than any words, reflecting the pressure he is under this season.

Slot Transforms 'Rock & Roll' into 'Heavy Metal'

The legacy of Jürgen Klopp has found continuity and evolution under Arne Slot. The Dutch strategist has preserved the intensity that defines Liverpool’s game while adding extra verticality and precision. Against City, the 'Reds' dominated every aspect of the match, reducing Guardiola’s side to spectators on the pitch. Cody Gakpo opened the scoring in the 12th minute, while Mohamed Salah sealed the win with his 11th goal of the campaign.

Crisis at City: Just a Rough Patch?

The defeat deepens the poor run of Manchester City, now winless in seven matches, six of which ended in losses. The team’s lack of cohesion is glaring. Neither the talent of Erling Haaland, isolated in the attack, nor Matheus Nunes’ attempts in improvised roles manage to steer the 'Citizens' back on track. Additionally, the decision to bench Ederson following recent mistakes adds further uncertainty to a team that seems unrecognizable.

Anfield: A Fortress Once Again

With this victory, Liverpool solidifies their position as Premier League leaders, extending their lead to nine points over Arsenal and 11 over City. This is no small feat—the 'Reds' hadn’t beaten City in over two years. Moreover, out of 54 meetings between these teams, the away side has only won six times. The dominance of Liverpool at home is historically evident.

Is Guardiola's Era at City Coming to an End?

The chant at Anfield may not just be a provocation. Rumors about Guardiola’s future are gaining traction, especially in a season where City seems more vulnerable than ever. Last Wednesday’s draw against Feyenoord, after squandering a 3-0 lead, and the humiliation at Liverpool are blows that put the Catalan manager’s continuity into question.

Anfield not only witnessed a masterclass in football but also the potential dawn of a new era in the Premier League. While Liverpool enjoys their peak, Manchester City faces a storm that might culminate in a managerial change at the helm of one of England’s biggest clubs.
