5 reasons why Manchester City Vs Liverpool is the biggest game in English football 

#1 Goals galore

Liverpool and Man City shared 18 goals in 4 games last year

Liverpool and Manchester City met a total of four times last season, with a total of 18 goals being scored between the two sides during those games. That's an average of 4.5 goals per encounter.

The Premier League has plenty of big game fixtures and has had its share of big name-rivalries in the past but few have produced the kind of excitement on the pitch that Manchester City and Liverpool have done in recent years.

Whereas a lot of big Premier League encounters often see managers taking a more reserved approach, both Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are willing to go a little gung-ho in the name of victory and as a result, the games are often among the most exciting encounters of the season.
