Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola appeared in front of the press with marks on his head and a cut on his nose after his side threw away a three-goal lead against Feyenoord on Tuesday night. A sign of just how much the pressure is weighing on the Catalan coach.
Liverpool have still to play against Real Madrid this week, and Arne Slot will no doubt be dealing with stress and strain, but nothing compared to his counterpart. City have authored the worst run in Guardiola’s career, halting a five-game losing streak, but only with a draw at home to the Ditch side, and in a fashion that did little for morale.

The Reds will no doubt feel they are looking at a golden opportunity. With an eight-point gap opening up suddenly between the pair in the Premier League, Liverpool have the chance to make it an 11-point chasm going into December. Even with City’s habit for putting together long winning runs in the second half of the season, that lead would be approaching insurmountable.
Liverpool face Los Blancos on Wednesday night, and an understrength one at that – Real Madrid will be without Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Aurelien Tchouameni, David Alaba, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal. They come into this one with 12 wins in their last 13 games, the only ‘blip’ a 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
Between the two sides, both of their meetings last season ended in 1-1 draws, but the previous year Guardiola got the better of Jurgen Klopp winning the previous two matches 4-1 and 3-2. This will be the first clash with Slot on the sideline for Liverpool though, and so far it’s hard to find too much fault with anything he’s done so far. Overall, it’s setup with City in desperate need of a result at Anfield, and unless you’re a City fan, in a particularly appetising fashion.
How to Buy Last-Minute Tickets to Liverpool v Manchester City
If you’re keen to attend the clash at 16:30 local time on Sunday the 1st of December, getting into Anfield is not the easiest job. Manchester City have sold out their allocation for the game, while there is little hope of getting a ticket through the Liverpool website so close to the game. They do still have hospitality packages available at €720.
For around half that price, you can head to a third-party ticket website such as LiveFootballTickets.com to get into the big game. Their tickets begin at €364 and at the time of writing, you can still find 1,202 tickets. That is much more than competitors Fanpass, who are starting their tickets at €384, or Footballtickets.net. The latter will set you back €348, with the cost rising into the thousands depending on where you are sat.
Given how close it is to the game, another factor to take into account is the ease of the experience and the confidence in whichever third-party site you are dealing with. For example, LiveFootballTickets.com have an established reputation built on over 15 years of trading with football fans, and have a 4.8 rating out of 5 on Trustpilot. LiveFootballTickets.net also give a money-back guarantee of 150% of what you pay, which is reassuring for such large amounts of money.
