This weekend’s headline Premier League fixture sees Manchester City take on Liverpool in a clash that could have a big impact on the early title race.

City enter the game second with 19 points, while Liverpool sit just behind on 18, having regained momentum following a five-game winless streak across the league, cup, and Europe.

Arne Slot’s side have steadied the ship with consecutive victories, a 2–0 win over Aston Villa and a composed 1–0 triumph against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, the questions remain over their tactical consistency and defensive transitions.

Meanwhile, Manchester City are still grappling with issues in their pressing game under Pep Guardiola, which has at times forced him to drop his pressing lines and allow opponents space in build-up play, as seen in their match against Arsenal where City frequently conceded possession in dangerous areas.

In this tactical preview and data analysis, we will examine the factors behind Liverpool’s fluctuating performances under Slot, and assess how Guardiola’s evolving pressing structure is reshaping City’s approach against elite opposition, with particular attention to the strengths and weaknesses in their pressing game and its impact on controlling matches.

In the last decade alone, Paris has been one of Europe’s hotbeds for young talent.

They have produced attackers such as Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé, while ushering in a new wave of talent with the likes of Warren Zaïre‑Emery and Leny Yoro.

Within that lineage but playing further south for AS Monaco, Maghnes Akliouche has become one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in Europe.

He is a player whose game revolves around the half-space, high-tempo progression, and out-of-possession intensity.

He is neither a classical number ten nor a wide forward.

He is more of an interior winger who begins nominally on the right and bends into central spaces to connect play.

This Maghnes Akliouche scout report and player analysis outlines why his appeal to some of Europe’s best teams is not just due to his productivity, but also the repeatability of his underlying actions.

When Sandro Wagner was appointed as manager of FC Augsburg this summer, expectations rose very quickly.

It looked like a perfect match.

For the club, it was the opportunity to finally shake off its image as the ‘Plain Jane’ of the Bundesliga.

Augsburg have played the same season on repeat for the past 10 years.

They started their seasons off rather decently, fell into a hole through the winter, got stuck in the relegation battle, but managed to fight their way out of relegation and finished between 12th and 15th in nine out of 10 seasons.

Sandro Wagner was their ticket out of there.

The former Bayern Munich striker has always had a very bright personality, even when he was a player and was perceived as arrogant, yet unique by the media.

After his playing career was over, Wagner quickly became a fan favourite as a pundit, thanks to his honest and straightforward approach to discussing the game and what happens behind the scenes.

At the same time, Wagner was starting out his coaching career by obtaining the licences required.

He never made a secret about his goals; he wanted to become a Bundesliga manager, and he was very invested in becoming a good coach.

After getting SpVgg Unterhaching promoted to the 3. Liga in his first season as a head coach, Wagner became an assistant coach for Julian Nagelsmann at the German national team, being part of the rejuvenating staff for the 2024 European Championships.

Now, after nine games of the Bundesliga season, the tenure of Wagner seems to already be close to over in Augsburg.

In this Augsburg tactical analysis, we will examine the tactics and ideas Sandro Wagner brought to FC Augsburg, why they are not working, and point out possible solutions to their problems.
