Liverpool vs Man City live stream and how to watch Premier League game online, lineups

The Liverpool vs Man City live stream will see the reigning champions travel to  Anfield in what in previous seasons has been a title-deciding fixture — you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

Manchester City and Liverpool have been dominating English football between them for the last five years, but now the two rivals find themselves in very different positions. City are in rude health, fresh off a 4-0 win over Southampton they remain the only undefeated side left in the division and are just a point behind leaders Arsenal. New signing Erling Haaland has redefined Premier League goal-scoring statistics with a record-breaking 15 goals in just nine games and midfielders like Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden have also been in fine form. Pep Guardiola does have a few injury problems in defense with Kyle Walker definitely ruled out and John Stones reportedly doubtful for the trip to Anfield. 

Liverpool have not had a good start to the season and following a 3-2 defeat last Sunday to Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp will be pulling his hair out at the same needless mistakes costing the reds points. To make matters worse, three of their key players, Luis Diaz, Joel Matip and Trent Alexander-Arnold went off injured at the Emirates and will miss this game. On a positive note, the game against the Gunners did at least see striker Darwin Nunez score a confidence-boosting goal, just his second in eight premier league appearances.

The reds will be hoping for a repeat of the last time the two sides met, the Community Shield, where they emerged 3-1 winners. While it looks unlikely to be a first-against-second clash this season, a win would all but knock out their long-time rivals from this year’s title race and set them well on their way to another crown. Liverpool meanwhile will see this as a great chance to kickstart their season with a statement win. The famous Anfield atmosphere will be in full force, making the Liverpool vs Man City live stream one not to miss. 

Here's how they line up:

Liverpool: Alisson, Milner, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Thiago, Elliott, Fabinho, Salah, Firmino, Jota.

Man City: Ederson, Cancelo, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Haaland, Foden
