Sergio Aguero will go down as one of the top three strikers in Premier League history by the time he is done here. Having won everything there is to win domestically, only one blemish stays on Aguero's perfect record in England - the lack of a goal at Anfield. The Argentine international has scored seven times against Liverpool in seven league appearances at the Etihad but is yet to score a goal for his club at Anfield.

In the past two seasons, Manchester City vs Liverpool has been the biggest rivalry in English football, and the stakes have never been higher than they are right now. With City six points behind the league leaders, they need at least a draw to keep the pressure-tight at the top.

Aguero was rested by Pep Guardiola for the Champions League game against Atalanta, and will be primed and ready to go at Anfield this Sunday. With Liverpool in top form, Pep will be hoping his striker can put his bad record at Anfield to bed by scoring a goal to give the Cityzens some much-needed points at a venue where they have struggled in the past.
