原本被认为是棋逢对手的较量，最终却呈现出一边倒的局面。利物浦在主场击败了曼城，不仅将对手推向7场不胜的深渊，也为自己朝着英超王座大踏步前行奠定基础。在面对士气低落的卫冕冠军时，利物浦放弃了近期以防守为先的比赛思路，而恢复了昔日高位压迫结合长传疾攻的招牌打法。球员们灵活调整防线站位，并凭借核心成员出色的传射能力轻松锁定胜局。
红军进退自如，斯洛特“晃倒”瓜迪奥拉
自2022/23赛季以来，利物浦在进攻三区夺回球权次数明显下降，为避免锋线伤病影响克洛普试图创造更多攻击空间。而新任主帅斯洛特继承前任“节能减排”的防守策略，由范迪克与赫拉芬贝赫组成后场脊梁，使得萨拉赫和加克波等人频繁回撤至底线。这使得过去12轮比赛中，利物浦防线平均站位靠后，而曼城则表现得更为激进。
周中与皇马交战时，利物浦显得小心翼翼。瓜迪奥拉判断可以掌控客场球权，因此选择搁置边锋，以多名中场组建“无翼”首发。然而，这样导致曼城遭遇压迫后的反制乏力埋下隐患。此外，与费耶诺德欧冠赛事相比，他对此次阵容做出了多达8处调整。
针对这种情况，在本轮比赛中斯洛特通过摆上三名位置灵活、能够发动抢攻的小快灵先锋，再度展现其执教风格。他希望利用这一点来取得主动，从而找回球队往日荣光。
用重金属流冲垮对手
开局20分钟内, 利物浦竟然在后场16次失误，被对方射门8次，自身也迟迟未能完成第一次有效射门（39’）。这样的表现让很多观众感到陌生：作为教练15年来从未见过如此困境，如今他辛苦搭建起来四中间人的体系完全被抹杀掉。同时京多安和里科-刘易斯的位置难以稳定，加之阿坎吉屡屡犯错，让整个曼城队陷入混乱状态.
Liverpool 的成功来自于他们快速反应并善于变化，他们充分发挥每个球员所具备速度优势，通过横向移动制造机会。当经验丰富且强大的范迪克控制空中的同时，对面的两侧没有足够速度打开纵深路线，这令对于走地面配合不得已变成挣扎求存。从而造成哈兰德无法施展作用，只能沦为了旁观者角色。
Salah再创佳绩 红军把握住机会
The 2023/24 season sees Liverpool scoring ten fewer goals than Manchester City but creating an impressive fifty-three more goal-scoring opportunities. Following Jota's injury, Slot has increased the playing time of Gakpo and Jones while providing Diaz with closer chances to score. Salah’s role as a playmaker becomes increasingly evident as he moves into midfield positions.
Salah still struggles with wasting opportunities; however, when his teammates in attack change from Nunez to Luis Diaz or Gakpo for central strikes, it greatly benefits him by allowing space for assists. After a poor performance against Real Madrid midweek where Mbappe stole headlines due to his lackluster display even after Salah also underperformed - fans were worried about whether he'd experience another inconsistent season this year until he silenced doubts through one assist and one goal during their recent victory over Manchester City!
