Here are your evening Liverpool headlines for Monday, February 6.
Pep Guardiola has already hinted at what Man City's biggest 'punishment' could be
If Jurgen Klopp thinks it was a rough couple of days for him at Liverpool, he might want to check in on Pep Guardiola.
The Reds' season may have lurched further into the mire with their latest abject display, this time at Wolves on Saturday afternoon, but it's Manchester City who have suddenly entered the week as the most embattled of the Premier League giants.
A failure to close the gap on an Arsenal side who were beaten at Everton on Saturday lunchtime was a lamentable feature of City's weekend as they lost to Tottenham 1-0 in north London, but it was the bombshell statement from the Premier League on Monday morning that will have truly rattled Guardiola and everyone else connected to the Etihad.

Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann speaks out on Man City charges
Former Liverpool star Didi Hamann has called on football’s governing bodies to act following the Premier League's decision to charge Man City over alleged financial breaches.
The allegations, which total over 100, come following a four-year investigation. The league has since brought various charges against to the club, running from the 2009/10 season through to the present.
UEFA banned Man City from competing in Europe in February 2020 due to FFP breaches, before it was overturned by the Court for Arbitration for Sport a few months later. City have remained under investigation by the Premier League ever since, with the focus being on a number of sponsorship deals and how manager and player remuneration was accounted for.
Following news of the charges against Man City, Hamann - who made 283 appearances for Liverpool, as well as 71 for the Manchester club - has given his reaction to the news. The former Reds midfielder says that football's governing bodies, such as the Premier League and UEFA, need to act to create a “level playing field” for all clubs across Europe.
