Manchester City welcome reigning champions Liverpool to Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon in the standout fixture of the Premier League weekend.
The Cityzens waltz into a pivotal clash of giants in impressive form following six wins from their last seven outings in all competitions, with their 4–1 thrashing of Borussia Dortmund midweek indicative of their confidence. They’re slowly returning to the sleek, all-conquering iteration of City we have witnessed regularly during the Pep Guardiola era.
However, complacency will prove fatal against a resurgent Liverpool team, who enter the fixture off the back of a dominant victory over record European champions Real Madrid. The Reds, who are clinging on to their position in the title fight, will provide a sizeable test.
Here is how City could line up for a must-win fixture as they chase table-toppers Arsenal.
