A look at Pep Guardiola's record in away games against Liverpool at Anfield in the English Premier League, which might be his final visit.
On 7 Feb 2026 GMT+7, the atmosphere at Anfield may haunt Pep Guardiola for the last time, as the Spanish Manchester City manager faces one of the toughest challenges in his Premier League managerial career.
Although Pep confirmed, "I still have one year left on my contract," major English media widely predict this season could be his final chapter with Manchester City, making this trip to Anfield potentially his last as the Blues' manager.
In nearly 10 years managing Manchester City, Pep has visited Anfield in the Premier League nine times but secured victory only once, which occurred during the lockdown period in matches played without spectators, leading many to view it as not truly "Anfield".
Pep Guardiola's record visiting Liverpool stands at 1 win, 3 draws, and 5 losses, earning just 6 points out of a possible 27, with four matches where Manchester City failed to score against the Reds.
Pep Guardiola admits that Anfield is always the most challenging stadium.
"It is the toughest opponent and the hardest stadium to play in due to the quality of the players and the manager," Pep said.
He dismissed the notion that Liverpool's form this season would make the game easier.
"They remain an excellent team with a top-level manager. Anfield is still Anfield."
Pep also emphasized what is essential for big games.
"Anfield is a grand stage, and big games require great character. It's not about skill, because every Premier League player has skill, but about how you conduct yourself on the pitch."
If the rumors of his departure are true, this match may not only decide the title race or top-four qualification but also mark the final chapter of Pep Guardiola's story with a stadium that has been one of his toughest challenges as a manager.
