Manchester United runs with the set length when compared with the Manchester City and Liverpool deliver on tabelltoppen

Manchester City-Liverpool 2-1 (1-0)

NEWCASTLE-MANCHESTER UNITED Wednesday night was a nice performance seen with most Norwegian eyes. Manchester City-Liverpool this torsdagskvelden was football at its dramatic best.

EXTREMELY INTENSE with the performance from the absolute top drawer told the fight all about why the Premier League is world's best league, the place to be. Some great football matches are better than others because they mean more than everything. This was one of the best. And while many certainly select themselves 1-0 (Sergio their new top gloves), 1-1 (Roberto Firmino) or 2-1 (Leroy Sané) match highlights – select I the ninety-five minutes brasilianeren Fernando Luiz Roza (fernandinho beaches) gave the City, the fight and the football.

It was a rare achievement among many great achievements.

Perhaps the best so far in the season.

Guardiola: - Manchester City are better than last season

IT WAS FUN to see and hear how two of the industry's best and most popular professionals praising one another before this Premier League season's biggest football game. It was first and foremost about rhetorical tactics, just like the match before it ran wild, long stood there like a game of chess.

All is the itself almost.

But it was also about mutual respect.

PEP GUARDIOLA PRAISED Liverpool's game, style and aggressiveness, said that the team from Merseyside is Europe's best and that Liverpool per date is made to reach for. It is difficult to disagree with it. Jürgen Klopp said exactly the same about his opponent, that Manchester City is the world's best football team. It is difficult to disagree with it too, even if Pep Guardiolas crew has been off the rails before they came back on track in Southampton. And so they could continue in their polite attempt to try and remove the pressure and expectations from his own team.

Anyone who has followed the Premier League season through the fall and christmas season realize that it does not go.

Forget it, Man City - Liverpool win the league as they will

This was more than a very special game.

For Liverppol there was a small matchball that could determine the league is already the third day in January.

WAS THERE ANY this match at the Etihad was full off, so there was pressure. Live or die pressure for those who have to win, Manchester City. Tingling forventningspress for those who have never met the new year in a better position than is the case in 2019, Liverpool. With seven points up to tabelltoppen had julas many disappointments placed Manchester City in a corner.

They just had to win.

They could at least not lose.

AND WON DID they. And saved the winter, spring and league as the venue for the excitement and drama we would like to have. With ten points up to Liverpool it would have been run. With four have Pep Guardiola and Manchester City all playing for. But I don't think Jürgen Klopp to dwell for long on this, he knows the game better than most.

Manchester City had lost three matches before Liverpool came to the Etihad.

Now Liverpool lost one.

And after 21 league rounds, where poenghøsten is 54 (Liverpool) and 50 (City) and both teams are standing with 39 plussmål, tell it a thing.

Both Manchester City and Liverpool hold the extremely high quality in everything they do.

There is also no reason to be afraid for the form.

IT ALSO SAYS where the list is and what Ole Gunnar Solskjær Manchester United have to reach for. It's been a while since Manchester City was "the noisy neighbours" as Sir Alex Ferguson often spoke of them. Now is the beset in the city. And 24 hours after Newcastle, Manchester United took the football at St. James' Park took the soccer ball a significant step up this evening at the Etihad.

It is not where Cardiff, Huddersfield, Bournemouth and Newcastle operates the list is whether you want to back among the best, be competitive and win the Premier League.

It is at the Etihad and Liverpool.

Everything he does is right
