How to Watch Man City vs Liverpool

Read More on Sports

Two of England’s pre-season frontrunners for the Premier League title will square off on Sunday when Manchester City hosts Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. The Reds have won the last two encounters between these two teams, but have recently shown struggles on the domestic front following a run of four straight league defeats.

Arne Slot’s men have since corrected course and leapt back up to third in the table following last weekend’s 2-0 victory over Aston Villa, one point behind City. Not only that, but the Merseysiders also travel to the Etihad after edging one of the best teams in the world, clinching a 1-0 home triumph over Spanish monolith Real Madrid.

Pep Guardiola’s side have looked more stable in their work and are currently riding a streak of three consecutive wins across all competitions. The Citizens put Borussia Dortmund to the sword with a 4-1 Champions League win at home on Wednesday and remain undefeated in European competition this term.

B allon d’Or winner Rodri made the briefest of cameos off the bench in last weekend’s win over Bournemouth but is sidelined once more ahead of Liverpool’s visit. Slot has issues of his own as Alisson and Jeremie Frimpong are among those set to miss out, though record signing Alexander Isak is hoping to be ready in time for the trip to Manchester.
