Long read: BBC Sport looks at the stories of seven black sportswomen who were trailblazers of their time. In the past, Klopp's Liverpool have had to respond to disappointment and have bounced back the following year, but now they have a new challenge, which is to retain their crown. Whatever else they win this season, City will want their Premier League title back next year.
I don't like comparing players' achievements, especially when they are in different positions, but Silva has been absolutely magnificent, and for 10 unbelievable years he has been the heartbeat of this City team. They have got an exciting talent in Phil Foden who will get his chance to step up, but he has got a huge hole to fill. There were nine of them last season - nine defeats to Liverpool's three.
The result was a fair reflection of the play - it was one of four matches last season in which City's opponents had the better chances, according to Opta's expected-goals model rating the quality of opportunities in the game.
Get all the latest from Jermaine and the team.
It was the difference.
City were beaten to the Premier League title last campaign by the Reds - who finished 18 points clear at the top of the table. That has happened three times in the last 14 to 15 years.
His side have been the best in the country by a million miles this season, and they will want to show that yet again, against their nearest rivals. Hamilton breaks F1 wins record to make history, Celtic denied by late Aberdeen pen in six-goal thriller, Being black in football: Past, present and future, FREE LIVE STREAM: Bermuda World Tens series, All Sky Sports and BT Sport channels - £40 a month, the 2-0 home defeat at the Etihad Stadium, We would like your feedback, please fill in our survey. Pep Guardiola and the club’s board have signed a host of new players in order to fight Jurgen Klopp’s side for the crown this season. Stats that say Man City will reclaim Premier League title from Liverpool FC. The other match against Wolves - the 2-0 home defeat at the Etihad Stadium in October was a good example of this. At the back is where City are furthest behind Liverpool at the moment. Analysis and opinion from our chief football writer.
For two seasons, his team did that brilliantly. Don Revie did it and so did Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley.

More must be done ahead of that to limit the exposure of the back-line, whoever is in it, and it is here that more is expected of Rodri in fulfilling the defensive demands of the screening role in midfield that had been perfected by Fernandinho in previous seasons.
Paul Pogba and Donny van de Beek were left on the bench for the game against Chelsea. "Then, when Chelsea came along and the first two years got off to real flyers in the league, we had to change our pre-season a little bit to make sure we got off to quick starts.
Patrice Evra sends brutal message to Donny van de Beek over Manchester United transfer. Liverpool have not always been at their best in that time, of course.
Sir Alex Ferguson did it no fewer than five times with Manchester United. That almost never happened in City's back-to-back title wins under Guardiola. Andros Townsend has backed Everton to challenge the Premier League’s top clubs this season. Dias and Ake are both signings to address City’s defensive issues that arguably cost them last season’s title. The door was left ajar and too often they found themselves punished. Collectively, Liverpool's players have had an amazing season, but they are brilliant because of more than just their results. Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes Paul Pogba admission.
I think if you look back over different periods of recovery, when Arsenal won the title from us in 1998 we went and won the treble the next year. Paul Scholes gives verdict on Manchester United youngster after EFL debut. Kompany was their captain and so often their driving force.
But what definitely won't happen this summer is star players leaving Liverpool. The level Liverpool are at might depend on how much partying they have done since. All eyes on Molineux. A total of 3pc of people voted 1/10, with 1pc voting 2/10, but the most popular answer was 7/10 - with 25pc opting for it. What won't help them is that, 12 months after Kompany left, they are about to lose another one of their greats in David Silva. Manchester City will show Liverpool great respect with a guard of honour before the game, but it will hurt Pep Guardiola and his players to have to do it, and they will want to prove a point on the pitch afterwards. The match at Molineux in December, a 3-2 defeat in which City lost a two-goal lead, was unfortunate in that it featured an early red card for Ederson that left them with 10 men.
Alan Shearer was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
There is no difference.". Liverpool have already taken City's title, and now they want their records too - most points, biggest title-winning margin and most wins.
Immediately after he left, they had to cope without their best remaining centre-half. Highlights: Man City 6-0 Watford City set to lose another great in Silva. The games that do not go their way. Even without him, though, they will still expect to put up more of a challenge to Liverpool in 2020-21. There is optimism that City are ready for a new cycle. The same goes for Manchester United; I can see them getting closer next time. The signing of centre-back Nathan Ake from Bournemouth should ensure that there is more pace in defence, whether that is him or Aymeric Laporte, and the sort of scenario that saw Traore running at Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi will never be repeated. Before then, he is going for more silverware. That tells you how good they are, and don't waste your time trying to argue this is a weakened Premier League either. There was a time when it was common.
Last updated on 2 July 20202 July 2020.From the section Premier League. That is what Reds boss Jurgen Klopp will be demanding. That has to be Liverpool's target now and they have the tools they need.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side did the double over Manchester City last season. That was it. Priority No 1 is to win the title back.
Man United and Chelsea played out an unwatchable 0-0 draw at Old Trafford and Patrice Evra was unimpressed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's approach. If they cannot, then Pep Guardiola's first - and possibly last - attempt to regain the title with Manchester City will be doomed. There won't be any fans inside Etihad Stadium on Thursday, but I am still expecting it to be a very lively night. Both teams have been incredible going forward but City are certainly not as strong as Liverpool are defensively, and I don't see them keeping the Reds out.
The title is gone but City are still trying to retain the FA Cup - as they did the Carabao Cup - and going for the Champions League too. "That is our target this year.
There might be a turnover of squad players, bringing in more people like Takumi Minamino to try to put pressure on those who are first choice.

I watched them beat Crystal Palace last week and, when they were winning 4-0 in the last minute, every single one of them was charging around trying to win the ball back.
What Jules Kounde told Sevilla chief about Man City transfer interest.
Will Pep Guardiola be able to regain the Premier League title? I would put him in the same bracket as Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Manchester United great Eric Cantona and Silva's brilliant City team-mate Sergio Aguero. They have not had a dominant player in that department all season, so I am sure it will be a priority for Guardiola to put it right when the next transfer window opens. Their team is definitely young enough too - none of their first-choice side were born when the club last won the league title, in 1990. Controlling the counter-attack, by fair means or foul, had been an essential element of Guardiola's success at City. Will Pep Guardiola's Manchester City regain the Premier League title? Our.
Man United and Chelsea played out a goalless stalemate on Saturday and Frank Lampard shared a joke with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the touchline in the closing stages of the match.
Chelsea too - they might still be a couple of players short of winning the league, but they are heading in the right direction. Man City 'Centurions' v Liverpool 'Incredibles' - who made your team? They deserved those celebrations but they have had a few days to get them out of the way, and my guess is they will want to be at their very best again when they play City. "You have to recover, as we have done many times," he said before embarking on the campaign that would see him regain the title for the final time before his 2013 retirement.
