Man City face a crucial clash this weekend with the club’s Premier League title defence on the line at Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola has insisted his side’s season does not hinge on Sunday’s result, but defeat would leave the Citizens with an 11-point gap to make up on the Reds.
Man City enter the contest in torrid form. Guardiola’s side have not won in six games, losing five consecutive fixtures before blowing a three-goal lead to draw with Feyenoord on Tuesday night.
Should City lose at Liverpool, the club will become the first defending Premier League champions to lose four league games on the bounce.

Manchester City team news
Guardiola could decide to bring in Ruben Dias and Kevin De Bruyne to the side as he seeks leaders in a period of troubled results.
Dias returned from a calf complaint to make the bench against Feyenoord, while De Bruyne has been eased back into action with substitute appearances in recent games.
Jeremy Doku has returned to training in a further boost, though the Citizens are without Rodri, John Stones, Mateo Kovacic and Oscar Bobb. Matheus Nunes is in contention to start in a midfield that has lacked energy of late. The Portugal international was a standout in the draw with Feyenoord.
