Manchester City are probably the best team with the best individuals, but this is where Liverpool can win the league, from the bench, because Klopp always uses five subs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To further illustrate Carragher&#8217;s point, so far this season, City have used the fewest substitutions in the Premier League (74). In the past, Guardiola has said that fewer substitutions mean less added time (against Newcastle in August 2023), but when asked about this, he speaks about in-game rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, the Reds have made the league&#8217;s third-most substitutions (119), with only Burnley (122) and Brighton (128) ahead.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s paying dividends, as Liverpool substitutes have scored or assisted 22 goals in the Premier League this season (11 goals and 11 assists), with only Man City in 2011-12 (24) and Arsenal in 2009-10 (23) having more sub-goal involvements in a season in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, a substitute has scored or assisted in their last four games, with five games in a row the Premier League record for a team having a sub-score or assist, achieved by five teams previously.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Darwin returns! ?<\/p>\n<p>Until it\u2019s over! ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z3iFUROtNj\">pic.twitter.com\/z3iFUROtNj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Darwin N\u00fa\u00f1ez (@Darwinn99) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Darwinn99\/status\/1764301701320732996?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 3, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Sunday&#8217;s meeting will also be the 30th between Guardiola (11 wins) and Klopp (12 wins).

Of course he will be missed. It was a shock [to hear the news]. I felt when I heard it that a part of Man City \u2026 we will lose something. We cannot define our period here without him \u2026 without Liverpool. Impossible,&#8221; he said after Klopp announced he will be leaving at the end of this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They have been our biggest rivals. And personally he [Klopp] has been the best rival I ever had in my life \u2013 in Dortmund when I was in Bayern, then here. I think the Premier League are going to miss him \u2013 the charisma, the personality and especially the way his teams play.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football betting tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Carragher believes the respective participant&#8217;s benches will decide this season&#8217;s Premier League title race.
