Liverpool and Manchester City faced each other by the 8th date of the Premier League to decide the leadership of the Premier League, both came to Anfield with the same number of points, 19 to be exact and everyone expected a match with tremendous rhythm and many goals as we are accustomed to by Jurgen Klopp and Josep Guardiola, who whenever they find themselves are sparking but once the German proves to be the father of the Spanish.
The game would be the opposite of what was expected, boring and almost monotonous, both teams took good care of each other and little risk. Just Mahrez, in a childish penalty committed by Virgil van Dijk, could change the game, but with his shot, that was put into orbit with the one from Sergio Ramos, his illusions and those of his team of winning in Anfield disappeared, along with the desire to beat the German in the Premier, as Guardiola has not been able to win a single game to Klopp since he leads Manchester City.
Both teams are at the top of the Premier with 20 points and Chelsea was added to the top after they won their match against Southampton 3 goals by 0, with goals by Eden Hazard after a good habilitation of Barkley, and Barkley himself would put the second after a play prepared by Sarri and his coaching staff, the last goal would come from Morata’s boots, with a perfect definition when he pikes the ball at the exact moment.
The positions in the Premier are left with Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool tied in the first place, they are followed by another tied in the 4th place with 18 points between Arsenal, that made a hand to Fulham, and Tottenham who also won his game. A very close Premier in these first 8 dates, 5 teams with very high level and waiting for Manchester United to join the fight.
