Liverpool v Manchester City: match preview

Liverpool v Manchester City
Liverpool v Manchester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light. Illustration: Guardian

This is the one. The best teams in the country renew a rivalry that defined last season’s title race and may do so again providing Pep Guardiola’s injury-hit Manchester City keep up with Liverpool. Another win for Jürgen Klopp, who has beaten a team led by Pep Guardiola more times than any other manager (eight wins out of 17 meetings), would represent a monumental step for Liverpool, although City ended their unbeaten start to last season. The visitors have won once in their last 28 league visits to Anfield. Andy Hunter
