Good afternoon and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of the Liverpool vs Manchester City match!
Get set, everyone! An exciting Premier League showdown is here.
Today’s Super Sunday battle features Liverpool leading the table with a six-point cushion, standing eight points ahead of Manchester City.
After Arsenal’s remarkable 5-2 win over West Ham, Liverpool’s lead has shrunk by three points, but this might only be a temporary challenge.
Arne Slot has smoothly adapted to his new role, steering a dynamic team that has been a force in the Premier League this season, claiming 10 victories in their first 12 matches.
Liverpool approaches this vital contest with the momentum of four consecutive wins in all competitions, most recently defeating European giants Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Conversely, Manchester City’s recent form has been concerning, as the squad has struggled to secure a win in their last six matches across all competitions.
This troubling sequence is a sharp deviation from the standard we have come to expect from Pep Guardiola’s side since he took over in 2016.
If City faces defeat at Anfield today, they will find themselves 11 points behind Liverpool and become the first defending Premier League champions to experience four consecutive losses in the season after their title triumph.
