Liverpool fly to the top of the championship after victory over a drifting Manchester City

The Reds are 11 points ahead of the Cityzen after their 2-0 success on Sunday at Anfield thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

Mixed fortunes for Reds and Skyblues. Liverpool won on Sunday, December 1, at the end of the 13th day of the Premier League against Manchester City (2-0), displaying unchallenged domination over the four-time defending champion. Intractable since the arrival on the bench of their new Dutch coach, Arne Slot's players have 18 victories in 20 matches in all competitions and nine points ahead of their closest pursuer in the championship.

In the midst of a crisis, the Cityzen are now seven games in a row without a victory in all competitions, including six defeats. Quadruple reigning champions, Manchester City are fifth behind Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Brighton. In their misfortune, Pep Guardiola's players are only two points behind second place, but see a fifth title in a row slip away, now 11 points behind their opponent of the day. They will host Nottingham, sixth, on Wednesday to try to restart the machine or continue to sink.
