After surprising defeats for both Arsenal and Liverpool against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace respectively last Sunday, Manchester City has surged ahead, now leading by a two-point margin in the Premier League standings.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Benitez remarked, “Manchester City are brimming with confidence. They possess a strong squad – capable of rotating three or four players and still securing comfortable victories.
“While they may encounter setbacks, as witnessed by Liverpool and Arsenal this weekend, I have faith that City will prevail. Both sides could falter, but I see City holding a significant advantage.”
Reflecting on the recent matches, Benitez noted, “I observed both games, and Liverpool was unfortunate not to convert some excellent opportunities.”
