It's Liverpool vs Manchester City in the Premier League this afternoon
Welcome to our live coverage of the huge Premier League encounter between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. Kick-off is 4.30pm.
It's a massive match for both teams. The sixth-placed defending champions need to win to keep pace with Chelsea and Manchester United in the fight for the spots while second-placed City also require victory given the gap to leaders Arsenal now stands at nine points.
A draw would do neither many favours while a defeat could prove hugely damaging to the clubs' respective Premier League ambitions.
A lot to play for, then, and Paul Gorst and Ian Doyle are in place at to bring you all the build-up to the big match, including team news when it drops at 3.15pm, followed by an in-game commentary stream and the best post-match reaction and analysis.

You can see what Paul Gorst, Ian Doyle and Mark Jones had to say right .
Good afternoon
