English Premier League leaders Manchester City will host Liverpool on Sunday in the biggest game of the season.
Pep Guardiola’s side are atop the standings with 73 points, just one ahead of red-hot Liverpool.
Many are inclined to think that the winner of this iconic clash will eventually lift the EPL trophy, as the reds seek a second title in three seasons.
There is no doubt this is the most anticipated game in the English football calendar as City came back twice in a 2-2 draw last time out.
Liverpool have been the best-performing team in the land and have done well to close the 13-point gap City enjoyed in January.
The giants face off twice in the space of the week as they meet at Wembley in the FA Cup over Easter, with Liverpool looking to land the quadruple having earned Carabao Cup success in February.
Klopp’s side come into this huge game on a four-game winning streak on the road, however they haven’t won a league match at the Etihad Stadium since running out 4-1 winners back in 2015.
