“Premier League Showdown: Liverpool Challenges Man City, Everton Fights for Survival”

By Milcah Tanimu

As Liverpool aims to break Manchester City’s stronghold at the Etihad, Everton faces a survival battle following a significant points deduction. With Arsenal eyeing the top spot and Tottenham confronting in-form Aston Villa, AFP Sport highlights three key talking points for the Premier League action post-international break.

1. **Liverpool vs. Man City: Renewing Rivalry**
– Liverpool, the consistent challengers to Manchester City, seeks to end their winless streak at the Etihad since 2015.
– The reigning champions, Manchester City, boasting a home winning streak, are in a fierce battle for supremacy.

2. **Everton’s 10-Point Penalty: Survival Challenge**
– Despite recent positive performances, Everton faces adversity with a 10-point deduction, putting them level with bottom club Burnley.
– Manchester United, their upcoming opponent, aims to capitalize on Everton’s situation, yet their own form raises concerns.

3. **Tottenham’s Struggle Against Villa’s Form**
– Tottenham, led by manager Ange Postecoglou, grapples with consecutive defeats and the absence of playmaker James Maddison.
– Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, poses a threat with their impressive home record but seeks to improve their away form.

The Premier League promises intense battles and potential shifts in the table as teams vie for supremacy and survival.
