Manchester City’s defender, Manuel Akanji, is optimistic about his team’s chances of overcoming their historical difficulties at Anfield as they prepare for crucial matches against Liverpool and Arsenal. The current title holders are scheduled to compete against the top-ranked team in the Premier League, Liverpool, in a pivotal encounter this next Sunday, following Arsenal’s play against Brentford on Saturday.

Despite their high league position and status as frontrunners for the championship, City’s performance history at Anfield has been less than impressive. Since 1981, they have only achieved a single victory in the presence of an audience, which occurred 21 years ago when Nicolas Anelka scored two goals.

Despite achieving a 4-1 triumph in that location last year, the match took place without any spectators present. The mood this weekend will be distinct – the teams may want to displace Arsenal from the top position, as Mikel Arteta’s club has the chance to surpass their title competitors the day before.

Akanji remarked that the event will undoubtedly be substantial. The victor will ascend to the pinnacle of the league. Although I prefer not to discuss the title race, a victory in this match would be highly significant for our team.

“Our performance in that particular place has not been optimal in the past, but why not strive for improvement this weekend?” We are aware of the difficulty, but, we are determined to go there and make every effort to secure the three points, as we consistently strive to achieve.

Akanji has only made one appearance at Anfield in the past, during which City experienced a 1-0 defeat. However, he maintains a positive outlook. “However, ultimately we prioritize ourselves, regardless of the influence exerted by the crowd,” he stated. “If we deliver the desired level of performance, I believe we can emerge victorious in the game.”
