How to watch Liverpool vs. Man City: Stream Sunday's Premier League showdown
The top two teams in the league face off
The biggest matchup of the 2019-20 Premier League season is about to kick off. Liverpool hosts Manchester City today (Nov. 10), as the league's two top teams meet for the first of two matches this season.
Man City won last year's title by a single point over Liverpool. Eleven matches into this season, Liverpool holds a six-point edge, so a win against Man City gives them a comfortable lead. A Man City win, though, and the title race is very much on.
With plenty at stake in today's match, you're definitely going to want to watch the Liverpool vs. Man City live stream. And you have plenty of options for staying on top of this big showdown.

NBC Sports Channel (NBCSN) is carrying the match in the U.S., so you'll need a cable subscription to watch that broadcast.

How can I live stream the Liverpool vs. Man City match?
In the U.S., any sporting event airing on either NBC or NBCSN is streamed on the NBC Sports website. You can either watch the Liverpool vs. Man City live stream there or turn to the NBC Sports mobile (Android, iOS) to stream the match on your smartphone or tablet.
One catch to this approach, though: NBC requires you to sign in with the login credentials from your cable or satellite TV provider. In other words, if you don't subscribe to cable TV you can't stream the Liverpool vs. Man City match this way.
How can I live stream the Liverpool vs. Man City match without a cable subscription?
You're not shut out of live streaming Liverpool vs. Man City if you've given up cable. But you will have to turn to a subscription streaming service that includes NBCSN. The good news is that many leading services carry NBC's sports channel, usually in a tier that will cost you less than a cable subscription. (That's even true now that PlayStation Vue has announced that its service is shutting down.)
Here are your best choices for a subscription streaming service that includes NBCSN for live streaming Liverpool vs. Man City.
YouTube TV: NBCSN is among the 70-plus channels in YouTube's live TV service. It costs $50 a month, and there's a cloud DVR feature.
