A victory against the Foxes could see Liverpool extend the lead to seven points. However, let’s now take a look, when and where Manchester City have lost the games and how former Liverpool men related to defeats. The first defeat came out for Manchester City in the game against Chelsea. Maurizio Sarri’s squad beat Pep Guardiola’s side with a 2-0 score.
