Modified Nov 28, 2024 14:22 GMT

Liverpool and Manchester City are the top two teams in the Premier League at the moment, which makes the upcoming Liverpool vs Man City fixture pretty interesting. While the former has displayed excellent form, even beating Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League, the latter hasn't tasted victory for some time and is in much need of a turnaround.

Current form suggests Liverpool could get the best of Man City, but as far as EA FC 25 is concerned, the dynamic may not be the same, as an in-game comparison depends on player ratings.
