Liverpool 0 — 0 Manchester City – LIVE!
Victory would send Liverpool 11 points clear of Pep Guardiola’s side
Liverpool have the chance to put a huge gap between themselves and Man City in the Premier League table. The Reds currently lead the way by eight points and could extend that a stunning 11 if they can beat the champions at Anfield, which would surely put them in cruise control of the title race even at this relatively early stage of the season.
Arne Slot has enjoyed a remarkable time of things since replacing the iconic Jurgen Klopp and saw his side make light work of Real Madrid on Wednesday night. If they can repeat that here, it would be perhaps the biggest statement of intent possible with nearest rival Arsenal also nine points off the pace. Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley miss out with injury, but Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to start.
City, meanwhile, are in a state of crisis. Five defeats on the bounce followed by a draw at Feyenoord after leading 3-0, which would have felt like another loss. Pep Guardiola has never been on a six-game winless run before in his career and has already conceded that defeat today would spell an end to hopes of a fifth consecutive title. Ederson and Josko Gvardiola have both been dropped to the bench. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
