The Merseysiders have been in the Champions League for several years now. However, the competition in the domestic arena is very high. The last time the Reds lost to Barcelona in the final was back in the season 2000.
The main rival of Liverpool in the current season is Manchester City. The Citizens have the best squad in the Premier League and are considered to be one of the main favorites of the tournament.
In the previous season, the Citizens lost to the Reds in the semifinals of the Champions Cup. However they managed to win the English Premier League the next season.
However, the current campaign promises to be really interesting for the fans of the club. The main question is whether the Reds will be able to defend their title or not.
Who will leave the Merseysides?
The Citizens have a number of players who are considered as leaders of the team. Among them are:
· Pablo Fornals;
·1 Diego Simeone;
1 Diego Costa;
2 Mohamed Salah;
3 Trent Alexander-Arnold;
4 Sadio Mane.
These players are able to decide the fate of the game in the decisive matches. However it is the first one who is likely to leave.

The Spaniard has already expressed his desire to leave, which was confirmed by the club’s management. The player has already been playing for the Citizens for several seasons. However he has not managed to establish a good personal relationship with the club’s management.
It is also worth noting that the player has not been able to find a new club. He has already played for a number teams, which is why he is not able to play for another club.
What are the main strengths of the Mersey team?
It has already become clear that the Citizens have good players, which allows them to compete with the best teams in the world. The club has a number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 players.
One of the strengths of Liverpool is its attacking football. The Reds have a good number of attacking players, who can decide the outcome of the match in a matter of a few minutes.
For example, the following players can decide whether the Citizens will win the match:
1. Sadler.
2. Alexander- Arndt.
3. Mane.
4. De Gea.
5. Sturridge.
This list can go on and on.
Liverpool has a good selection of attacking football players. The team has a high level of teamwork and a good understanding of the rules of the competition.
Will the Reds be able not to defend the title?
In general, the team has the potential to win many trophies. However the Reds have not been in such a good shape for several months now.
They have lost a number players, such as:
* Coutinho;
*1 Milinković;
6 Mane;
7 De Jong;
8 Robertson.
Therefore, the Reds are not in the best condition.
Another problem is the lack of motivation. The players are not able yet to show the results that they have been able in the previous matches.
If the team does not show the desired results, then it will be very difficult for them to defend its title.
Main contenders for the title
The current season promises to bring a lot of interesting matches. The following teams can be considered as the main contenders for victory in the championship:
• Tottenham Hotspur;
•2 Manchester City;
9 Chelsea;
10 Arsenal;
11 Liverpool.
All of them have a high potential to achieve great results.
Of course, the main goal for the Reds is to win gold medals. However other trophies are also important for the club, which can be seen in the following matches:
● Champions League;
●2 League Cup;
16 FA Cup;
18 League One.
Such a high number of trophies can be a good sign for the team, which will help it to achieve its main goal.
