Title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City collide in a mammoth Premier League clash at Anfield this weekend.
Jurgen Klopp's top-flight leaders go into Sunday's fixture knowing that a victory on Merseyside would see them move nine points clear of the reigning champions, who currently occupy fourth spot after Leicester and Chelsea won on Saturday.
City pipped Liverpool to the title by a single point on the final day of last season - drawing 0-0 away and beating them 2-1 at home - and earned further bragging rights at Wembley in August as Gabriel Jesus' penalty secured a shootout win in the Community Shield.
The latest chapter of this budding and high-profile rivalry is sure to capture the imagination of football fans across the globe.
Premier League preview
Liverpool vs Manchester City
Venue: Anfield
Kick-off time: 4:30pm GMT, Sunday November 10
Prediction
Liverpool 2-2 Man City - The strength of Liverpool's truly formidable home form is well-documented, with the Reds having gone 45 matches since last losing in the Premier League at Anfield (to Crystal Palace in April 2017).
Klopp's men have shown great resilience to come from behind in several matches of late and will fancy their chances of striking a key to blow to their opponents' title hopes in early November.
The potential absence of goalkeeper Ederson due to an injury that forced him off in the Champions League against Atalanta will serve as further encouragement ahead of a potentially defining fixture, though at the other end of the pitch City - who have a woeful record at Anfield over the last 15 years - obviously possess the firepower to compensate for such a loss.
Expect an entertaining clash - with added spice following Pep Guardiola's recent comments regarding Sadio Mane - between the best two teams that English football has to offer with plenty of goalmouth action and talking points.
It is so hard to separate them and a score draw seems the most likely outcome at this stage.

Team news and predicted lineups
Liverpool are currently without Joel Matip (knee) and Xherdan Shaqiri (calf) in addition to long-term absentee Nathaniel Clyne (knee), while captain Jordan Henderson missed Tuesday's Champions League win over Genk due to illness.
As for the visitors, City are hoping that Ederson will be available after he suffered a muscular problem against Atalanta and was replaced by Claudio Bravo - who was subsequently sent off, leaving Kyle Walker to don the gloves - in order to avoid exacerbating the issue.
Definitely missing for Guardiola are Oleksandr Zinchenko, Leroy Sane, Aymeric Laporte (all knee) and Rodri (thigh), while David Silva looks set to remain absent as the result of a thigh complaint.
Liverpool XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Man City XI (4-3-3): Bravo; Walker, Stones, Fernandinho, Mendy; De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo; Mahrez, Aguero, Sterling
