A Look Back at 22 Notable Names

Who Made the Switch and How Did They Fare?

In the annals of English football, there have been a number of high-profile players who have represented both Manchester City and Liverpool. Some of these players have enjoyed great success at both clubs, while others have struggled to make an impact at one or the other. Here is a look at 22 of the most notable players who have played for both Liverpool and Man City.

One of the most successful players to have played for both Liverpool and Man City is James Milner. Milner joined Liverpool in 2015 and has since won the Champions League, the Premier League, and the FA Cup with the club. He also played a key role in Manchester City's title-winning campaign in 2013/14.

Another player who has enjoyed success at both clubs is Raheem Sterling. Sterling joined Liverpool in 2010 and made his debut for the club at the age of just 17. He went on to score 18 goals in 95 appearances for the Reds before joining Manchester City in 2015. Sterling has since won two Premier League titles and two EFL Cups with Manchester City.

Not all players who have played for both Liverpool and Man City have enjoyed such success. Some players have struggled to make an impact at one or the other club. For example, Mario Balotelli joined Liverpool in 2014 but only scored four goals in 28 appearances for the club before leaving in 2016. Balotelli has since played for a number of other clubs, including Manchester City, but has failed to reproduce the form he showed at Inter Milan.

Despite the mixed fortunes of players who have played for both Liverpool and Man City, there is no doubt that these two clubs are among the biggest and most successful in English football. The fact that so many players have represented both clubs is a testament to the quality and prestige of both Liverpool and Manchester City.
