Liverpool will hope to be at the end of the storm as they face potential title rivals Manchester City vying to win a third game on the bounce.
Arne Slot’s side ended their rot on home soil last weekend, winning a first domestic clash after six straight losses as they beat Aston Villa 2-0 at Anfield. They then followed it up in midweek by producing their performance of the season so far, outplaying Real Madrid in a Champions League victory for the ages.
The English champions will now look to build on such a memorable win by overcoming another heavyweight, making the trip to the Etihad Stadium to face a Man City side in stunning scoring form.
Erling Haaland has already hit 18 goals in 14 appearances this term and will be the driving force if City are to challenge early favourites Arsenal for the Premier League title.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news
Man City were without Rodri again for the Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund in midweek but could welcome the Spaniard back to the bench for the Liverpool visit. Mateo Kovacic remains out with a long-term ankle injury.
Liverpool will still be without number one Alisson meaning Giorgi Mamardashvili keeps his place in goal. Alexander Isak could make a return to the bench but is unlikely to start ahead of Hugo Ekitike. After their fine performances in attacking midfield against Real Madrid, Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz will be expected to play the same roles.

Manchester City XI: Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gonzalez; Silva, Reijnders, Foden, Doku; Haaland.
Liverpool XI: Mamardashvili; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Szoboszlai, Wirtz; Ekitike.
