Manchester City welcome league leaders Liverpool to the Etihad this afternoon.
Pep Guardiola’s side take on their old rivals in a huge clash for both teams. City sit fourth in the table and will be determined to cement their place in the Champions League positions.
The champions are well adrift in the title race, but will be eyeing to upset the challenge of Sunday’s opponents. Guardiola’s side thrashed Newcastle 4-0 at home last weekend, but endured a European exit at Real Madrid in midweek.
