Manchester City’s troubles continue to pile up, both on and off the pitch.
Just hours before their highly anticipated clash with Liverpool, new reports emerged suggesting that City could face an unprecedented points deduction for their 115 alleged breaches of Premier League financial regulations.
The timing of this revelation only added to the tension, and by full-time, things had gone from bad to worse for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Liverpool delivered a statement victory, exposing City’s vulnerabilities and reinforcing their own title ambitions.

With a possible punishment ranging from a significant points deduction to relegation, this loss could mark the beginning of a much deeper crisis.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire has suggested that if Everton’s 10-point penalty was a precedent, City’s punishment could be six times harsher, effectively ensuring relegation.
While speculation over the EFL’s stance on accepting City lingers, Maguire believes such a rejection is unlikely.
However, the uncertainty surrounding the club’s fate is unsettling, especially with rivals like Liverpool capitalizing on their struggles.
As City grapples with legal battles and on-field setbacks, Liverpool’s victory serves as a symbolic shift in momentum.
