Hugo Ekitike is gearing up for a significant match against Manchester City. The young striker, who has emerged as Liverpool’s top scorer with six goals this season, is eager for the challenge that lies ahead.
Recent Performances Leading to Confidence
Liverpool enters the match against Manchester City on the back of two solid performances. The team recorded a 2-0 victory against Aston Villa last Saturday, followed by a 1-0 win over Real Madrid on Tuesday. These wins have revitalized the team, especially after a disappointing stretch of six losses in seven matches across all competitions.
