The Premier League features a clash between two of its biggest teams this weekend as Liverpool lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in a high-profile encounter at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes so far this season and will be determined to win this game.
Manchester City vs Liverpool Preview
Liverpool are at the top of the Premier League standings and have been in excellent form this season. The Merseyside outfit played out a disappointing 2-2 draw against Aston Villa last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table and have not been at their best this season. The Cityzens slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will need to work hard to bounce back this weekend.
