With Liverpool hosting Manchester City this weekend, the battle of the north-west is one that has been spoke about for many years.
The football scene has always been competitive, but the music scene started the battle of the best.
Liam and Noel Gallagher, John Squire and Tim Booth are all big names, but it is difficult to get all the rock ‘n’ roll stars in one team.
For Pep Guardiola, this issue is hitting his City side, with the Spaniard struggling to fit Phil Foden and Omar Marmoush into a City side which is full of attacking talent.
Liverpool, represented by bands such as The Beatles from the 60’s, was the last time Liverpool FC had a proper successful period.
There are a few recent successes, a Premier League in an empty arena and a European cup, which was overshadowed by their insufferable fanbase.
Overall, the City will be known for its history, rather than its present, which just isn’t the same.
Manchester is represented by Oasis, who are also known to scam fans with their horrendous ticket prices, just like the Manchester clubs.
Team news is in…
Madchester Starting XI
A lineup that has everything. A controlling midfield, just as Guardiola would love, and a front three all interchangeable, all big names and overall a brilliant side.
Merseybeat Starting XI
An attacking lineup, the two big names up front (Alexander Isak + Hugo Ekitike style), with two wingers who are full of energy. Gerry and the Pacemakers are at the heart of the team, linking to their classic anthem, You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Defensively, a bit all over the place, a mix of old and new, and they are still trying to gel and create a solid relationship.
