Liverpool dominated Pep Guardiola's Man City on Sunday, blowing their title rivals away in a confident performance that cements them as favourites to win the league this season.

This was a City side which has been in horrendous form in recent weeks, with this being their 6th defeat in their last 7 games.

Arne Slot’s Reds, on the other hand, are on absolute fire. Nine points clear of Arsenal and Chelsea, eleven clear of Man City, top of the Champions League group stage - it's all going so well.

Pep Guardiola is not having the best time of his life.

Six defeats in seven games, a host of problems across his squad, players declining and looking like they don't care anymore.

Life at Liverpool has been one perfect dream for Arne Slot, at least on the surface. His side are top of the Premier League and Champions League and are the best team in Europe on current form.

And they've been doing it while managing a number of injuries to key players.

Caoimhin Kelleher has hand to stand in for Alisson and has performed admirably. Harvey Elliott has missed most of the season and we're yet to see much of Federico Chiesa at all.

It's in defence where the worst injuries have occurred.

Mo Salah put on a player of the match performance against Manchester City on Sunday, less than a week after he stirred up criticism for speaking to the press about Liverpool not yet offering him a new contract.

The most notorious of this criticism came from club legend Jamie Carragher, who referred to the Egyptian as "selfish" on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

But, in being presented the player of the match award after the Manchester City game live on Sky Sports, Virgil van Dijk quipped: "I'm surprised Carra didn't give it to you," after hearing it was Gary Neville who gave Salah the award.

"He wouldn't give it to me!" Salah joked back.

And on cutting back to the Sky studio, when pressed about it, Carragher replied: "I'll see him in the car park!"
