Your support makes all the difference.It’s the big one: Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield in Sunday’s late kick-off, hoping to become the first side to beat Pep Guardiola’s team in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool welcome back their star man Mohamed Salah, but Nathaniel Clyne, Jordan Henderson, Alberto Moreno and Daniel Sturridge are all out injured. A win will take Liverpool – currently level on points with Tottenham Hotspur – above Chelsea in the table.
City will meanwhile welcome back a number of players after he shuffled his pack for the club’s EFL Cup game against Bristol City. But Gabriel Jesus, Vincent Kompany and Benjamin Mendy all remain out. City currently enjoy a 15-point lead at the top of the table.
