Manchester City Struggle at Start of 2026 as Challenges Mount for Guardiola

City’s Financial Position Remains Strong Despite Liverpool’s Lead

Does this signal a worrying trend where Liverpool’s finances will continue to outpace Manchester City? The answer is no. In fact, the numbers suggest there is reason for optimism for the Blues.
According to Deloitte, City’s matchday revenue stood at £78m—a drop compared with Liverpool (£130m), Arsenal (£159m), and Manchester United (£166m). Interestingly, clubs like Tottenham, Chelsea, Inter, and Borussia Dortmund all earned more on matchdays despite finishing below City in the overall rankings.
