The two sides had very different weeks in the Champions League. Manchester City came unstuck against Lionel Messi and co. in their match with PSG, losing 0-2. Liverpool, on the other hand, comfortably overcame Porto in a very impressive 1-5 victory. Mo Salah, Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino were all on the score sheet, meaning they should be high on confidence going into this weekend’s clash.
Manchester City’s last Premier League match was, though, a very impressive 1-0 win over Chelsea. That result means that Liverpool go into the match as the only unbeaten team in the league, having played out a dramatic 3-3 draw against Brentford last weekend. They'll have to be much more resilient in defence if they're to keep out the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Jack Grealish, and Phil Foden.
They'll also be without fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold and midfielder Thiago Alcantra due to injuries. Manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that those players “won’t have enough time for being back against City.”
The rivalry between the managers is just as intense as that between the players. They've faced each other eight times in the Bundesliga and 13 times in the Premier League. Guardiola won four of the German league encounters, whilst Klopp has won five of them in England. For his part, Guardiola has previously said that Klopp “is an inspiration for me and he has made me — through his teams in Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool — a better manager.” The Liverpool vs Manchester City live stream promises to be a fascinating tactical battle.
Here's how they line up:
Liverpool: Alisson, Milner, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Henderson, Fabinho, Jones, Salah, Jota, Mané
Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Rúben Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, Foden, Grealish
