After the match, Salah expressed his determination to build on this momentum. 

"It's great [being eight points clear],” he told Premier League. “Hopefully, we keep going in that direction. We have a game against them so hopefully, we win it and go 11 points clear," he stated.

Salah wants to see Liverpool add to City's problems.

The upcoming match is particularly decisive and crucial for both teams. City are reeling from a shocking 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, marking their fifth consecutive loss in all competitions. 

This unexpected downturn has raised questions about Guardiola's side, especially after their recent struggles in defence and midfield without key players like Rodri.
