Liverpool are on the cusp of a recovery, with manager Arne Slot hinting that Sunday's encounter against Manchester City will provide a crucial litmus test for his side. The 3-0 reverse at the Etihad Stadium in November still lingers, particularly after Virgil van Dijk's disallowed header and Cody Gakpo's missed chance sealed the defeat.

Slot acknowledges that Liverpool were outplayed by City in that match but expresses optimism about their recent development. He credits improvements in both attacking and defensive areas, including a stronger pressing game and work rate off the ball. The form of new signings Hugo Ekitiké and Florian Wirtz has been particularly encouraging, with Wirtz's improvement cited as a key factor.

The 200th meeting between Liverpool and City will provide valuable insight into Arne Slot's side's true capabilities. With a top-four finish still within reach, this match holds significant implications for the remainder of the season. Alexis Mac Allister confidently asserts that his team is better than City but now needs to prove it on the pitch.

The pressure is on Liverpool to rebuild momentum and form as they bid to secure European glory in the Champions League and FA Cup. A strong showing against City could be a turning point for Arne Slot's men, who have shown signs of life after a dismal run of losses. Can they overcome their title rivals and restore faith with their fans? The answer will become clear on Sunday.
 
man I think people are being too harsh on arne slot he's trying to rebuild a team that was decimated by injuries & key players leaving i mean 3-0 at city isnt the end of the world especially when u consider all the new signings hes brought in like ekitiké & wirtz theyre doing some crazy stuff out there with their skills 💥 and slot's been working on those pressing games & work rates off the ball which should give em a solid foundation for the future dont forget its only 200 meetings between liverpool & city so who says slot's side is gonna crumble against them this time around lol
 
I've seen my fair share of ups & downs in football over the years... 😊 Liverpool are definitely due for a bounceback, but you can't rule out City's quality either. I mean, they're still flying high, aren't they? That game at the Etihad was a tough pill to swallow, but Arne Slot's got them working on their weaknesses & it's shown in their recent performances.

These new signings are looking like game-changers! Ekitiké & Wirtz are already making a difference, and if they can keep it up, I think Liverpool might just give City a run for their money. The pressure is definitely on, but that's what makes this match so thrilling... 🤔 Can't wait to see how it all unfolds on Sunday!
 
I'm calling it now 🤑, Liverpool are gonna give City a run for their money this time around. Slot's made some solid changes and those new signings are looking sharp 💯. They've been building momentum and now they just need to keep it up. I love how confident Alexis Mac Allister is about his team being better than City - that's the kind of swagger you want from a striker 🙌. It's gonna be an intense game, but if Liverpool come out on top, watch out for them in the Champions League and FA Cup 💪.
 
I'm still living in the 80s 😂 remember when Liverpool dominated the league without all these fancy signings? Arne Slot's side is like that new team in the Premier League from last season, all flash and no substance 🤔 I mean, they're looking good, don't get me wrong, but can they keep it up? And what's with Alexis Mac Allister being so confident about beating City? Did he watch that 3-0 reverse at Etihad? 😂 Still, it'll be interesting to see how this one unfolds. Liverpool's form has improved, and Wirtz is like a new player for them - I'm reminded of the good old days when players like John Barnes and Ian Rush were breaking records. 🤓 Fingers crossed they can pull off a win against City! ⚽️
 
I'm intrigued by the whole thing... Liverpool's been through a rough patch but now they're showing some serious promise. I mean, that pressing game is looking pretty solid, and those new signings are making a real difference 🤩. It's gonna be interesting to see how they match up against City, 'cause they've got some fire in their bellies after Alexis Mac Allister's confident claims 😏. The thing is, Liverpool need to build on this momentum or it'll slip away from them. They can't just rely on one good game against City... gotta keep grinding 💪
 
I'm low-key hyped for this one 🤩 Liverpool's been in a bit of a rut lately but with Slot at the helm, I think we're gonna see some serious improvements against City. Their pressing game has looked super solid and Wirtz is just a game-changer, he's brought that extra bit of magic to their attack. It's not just about beating City though, it's about getting those wins and points on the board. If they can string together a few victories, I think they've got a real shot at the top four. And who knows, maybe this is the spark they need to kickstart their season 🚀
 
I'm low-key hyped for this one 🤩! Liverpool's been through a tough patch but Arne Slot's made some solid changes that could pay off big time. I mean, those new signings Ekitiké and Wirtz have brought a whole different level of energy to the team. And Slot's all about adapting and improving, which is something they've definitely shown in their recent games.

It's gonna be crazy to watch these two titans go head-to-head on Sunday! City's been looking strong as well, but I think Liverpool's got this. A win could really kickstart their season and give 'em the confidence boost they need. And who knows, maybe this is the turning point for the Reds? They've shown they can come back from adversity, so I'm all in on them now 🤞!
 
🤔 Liverpool needs to step up their game if they wanna beat City... again 😂. That Etihad Stadium loss still stings, especially with that sick disallowed header from Virgil. Can't say I blame Arne Slot for being optimistic, though - those new signings are looking sharp and the pressing game is getting some serious bite 🔥. Problem is, can they sustain it? The form has been up and down all season, so Sunday's gonna be a big test... but hey, maybe Alex Mac Allister was bluffing about City being worse than them 😏. Either way, this one's gonna be lit! ⚽️
 
man I'm loving this Liverpool resurgence 💥 Arne Slot's got them playing some solid football now, been saying it for ages that they just need to click into gear! 🚀 That City match in November was a huge letdown, but I think we're seeing the real team now 😊 Gakpo and Ekitiké are making waves, and Wirtz is like a whole different player since joining 🤯 it's gonna be so interesting to see how they take on City this time around 💪
 
I think Liverpool are due for a comeback! They've been working so hard to improve their game and it's about time they start seeing the results on the pitch 🤞. Arne Slot seems like a great coach who's got the team heading in the right direction, especially with those new signings Hugo Ekitiké and Florian Wirtz looking super promising 🔥. I'm loving the confidence from Alexis Mac Allister too - it'll be awesome to see them take on City and prove him right ⚽️. The 200th meeting is going to be a real test for Liverpool, but if they can come out on top, who knows what could happen? 🤩
 
omg u gotta feel 4 arne slot n his lads rn! they've been workin really hard 2 get back on track & i think sunday's gonna b a massive test for them, but i'm hyped 2 c how they handle it! alexis mac allister thinkin he's better than city? lol yeah right, we'll see bout that 💪🏽 meanwhile, slot's made some sick changes n improved their pressing game & wirtz has been pure genius on the pitch. can't wait 2 see if they can build momentum & make a deep run in the champs league 🚀
 
😬 This match is gonna be super intense! I'm loving the vibe around Liverpool right now, but that City game still stings 🤕. Arne Slot's making some bold claims about his team's improvement and I gotta agree, their pressing game has looked tighter lately 💪. Ekitiké and Wirtz are bringing that fresh energy they need to get over this hump 🔓! Will it be enough for them to take down City? The city's got a lot riding on this one... 🏆
 
I think Liverpool's revival is all about slotting in the right pieces 😊, literally! New signings like Ekitiké and Wirtz have been game changers. They've brought a fresh energy to the team that's started to pay off. On the other hand, Mac Allister's confidence might be a bit misplaced 🤔. City's consistency is hard to match. I'm all for Liverpool taking on the challenge and showing what they're made of 💪. It's gonna be a thrilling match! ⚽️
 
omg i'm so hyped 4 lfc right now 🤩! slot seems like the perfect guy 2 turn this team around & i love that hes giving credit 2 his new signings they're making a huge difference! but let's be real, city is gonna come at them hard on sunday... still gotta keep fingers crossed for our Reds 💪
 
I'm low-key excited to see how Liverpool bounce back from that tough loss to City in November 😅💪 Arne Slot's made some great moves bringing in new players like Ekitiké and Wirtz, who are already showing promise. I think their pressing game has been a major improvement, which can make all the difference in big games like this against City.

If they can string together some solid performances, I think they've got a good shot at making a top-four push and even pushing for more 🤔💫 Of course, you never know what's gonna happen on Sunday, but I'm feeling optimistic about this one. Bring it on! ⚽️
 
omg u guys lpool are literally on the comeback trail 🔄💪 i feel like slot has been doing a great job of highlighting the positives, but we need to see this in action against city! their 3-0 win still stings, esp after all those chances that gakpo missed 😩 anyway, wirtz has looked fire since joining and ekitiké's form is also on point 🤩 so here's hoping lpool can pull off a big win on sunday and prove they're more than just a shadow of their former selves 💯
 
omg u gotta feel the vibe atm... liverpool is literally at this crossroads. arne slot has done an amazing job turning the team around but that 3-0 beating by manchester city still stings. like, we all know they were outplayed but u can't deny the progress they've made. new signings are doing wonders and wirtz's improvement is insane! but the question remains... can they keep it up? sunday's match against city will be a massive litmus test for them. i'm literally on the edge of my seat thinking about it 🤯🔥 if they win, all eyes are back on them as top-four finishers. if not... well, you know how it is 😬
 
man this liverpool vs city match is gonna be so intense 🔥💪 i mean arne slot is hyping up his team saying they'll give city a run for their money but let's be real, man city has been looking pretty strong lately... 🤔 i'm still not convinced that liverpool have the firepower to take them down. and what about that 3-0 beat in november? i know slot says it was just one game but that disallowed header by van dijk was a major turning point 😬 anyway, we'll see how it all plays out on sunday 👀
