City’s recent form has been worrying, with a five-game losing streak followed by a disappointing 3-3 draw against Feyenoord after squandering a three-goal lead in the Champions League on Tuesday. Their poor results in the league leave the Premier League champions trailing Liverpool by eight points ahead of their crucial match at Anfield this Sunday.
In contrast, Liverpool are on an impressive six-match winning streak and have suffered only two losses in all competitions this season. After a 2-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League, Foden is fully aware of the tough challenge his team faces.
“Yeah, they look really strong,” he told The Times. “They’ve flown under the radar a bit, with all the focus on City and Arsenal, but we know how good they are. [Sunday’s match] is going to be a tough test, and we’re ready for it.”
City’s recent struggles have sparked speculation about a crisis under Pep Guardiola. A loss on Sunday would see City fall 11 points behind their rivals, which Guardiola admitted could effectively end their title hopes.
However, Foden remains optimistic about the team’s ability to turn things around, believing the players have the mental strength to recover.
“Obviously, we’ve hit a blip, and we’ve had injuries and niggles,” he said. “We can’t use that as an excuse, but we do know that if we had a fully fit squad and our key players available, maybe the results would have been different. It’s all about pushing through it, and I’m confident we’ll be fine once we start getting the results.”
He continued, “That’s just how we are. After a loss, we have team meetings and say, ‘This isn’t right, we need to fix this.’ It’s all about mentality. When I look around the locker room, I see the right mentality. The hunger is still there, which is encouraging after all the success we’ve had. It could have faded, but it’s definitely still there.”
Despite not yet scoring in the Premier League this season, Foden will be eager to open his account when City face Arne Slot’s team on Sunday.
