The English Premier League returns this weekend and in the opening fixture, Manchester City will host Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in what is expected to be a highly contested affair.
Manchester City come into this fixture on the back of a 4-4 draw away from home against Chelsea in the Premier League, with former City man Cole Palmer scoring a late equaliser for the Blues.
Whereas Liverpool comfortably won on their last time out 3-0 against Brentford in the league at home, thanks to a brace from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota adding a third.
Manchester City vs Liverpool
Saturday, 25 November 13:30
Etihad Stadium
Manchester City currently sit top of the Premier League after 12 games played, and have been particularly impressive in front of goal as they have scored the most goals (32) in the entire division.
The Manchester outfit find themselves on a hot streak in terms of form, as they have not lost in their last six games in all competitions, and their last defeat dates back to early October.
Erling Haaland has been in sublime form yet again this season with 15 goals contributions in 12 league games and scored four times in four games on the European stage in the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool have also had an impressive start to the league campaign, currently one point behind the reigning champions, and have lost just once out of their opening 12 games.
Jurgen Klopp’s side come into this fixture in a rich vein of form as they have not lost in their last six league games, but the German boss will understand that City will be their hardest test so far this campaign.
