Manchester City’s latest recruits, Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi, are gearing up for a high-stakes Premier League clash at Anfield on Sunday, with City chasing a crucial victory to stay within striking distance of leaders Arsenal.
Ghanaian winger Semenyo, who joined City this month, admitted the fixture has always captured his attention.
“As an outsider before joining here, it was always entertaining watching City and Liverpool. To be part of it, I’m so grateful, but it’s going to be a challenge,” he said. “But we’re prepared for it and we’ll be fired up for it on the day. I’m looking forward to the game.”
The match offers both players a chance to make an immediate impact in a fixture that carries massive significance for City’s title aspirations.
Semenyo’s pace and attacking instincts are expected to complement the team’s dynamic forward line, while Guehi’s defensive solidity will be crucial in containing Liverpool’s potent attack.
Fellow January arrival Marc Guehi echoed the sentiment, highlighting the need for continued progress.
“We’re definitely going in the right direction. It’s important we keep improving as a team,” Guehi said. “Winning games is massive and big in any competition, so as long as we keep going like that, I don’t see why we can’t achieve our goals this season.”
City manager Julian Alvarez will be looking to integrate his new signings quickly, ensuring they adapt to the intensity of Premier League football while contributing immediately.
With Liverpool boasting a strong home record, Semenyo and Guehi’s confidence and readiness will be key to City securing all three points and maintaining momentum in the title race.
Sunday’s Anfield trip represents both a baptism of fire and an opportunity for the new duo to announce themselves in English football’s spotlight, setting the tone for the remainder of City’s campaign.
