MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 01: A general view of a billboard displaying the phrase “WELCOME TO SHAMCHESTER” in Manchester on October 01, 2026 in Manchester, England. The Premier League confirmed that City had been found guilty of all charges relating to breaches of its financial regulations between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons.

Premier League | Anfield
4:30PM BST/11:30AM EST
It has been 84 years since Liverpool last played a football match. In that time, Manchester City were proven guilty of the financial crimes that we all knew they committed. The secret ingredient was, indeed, crime. And because football loves A Narrative, of course the first match back for them is at Anfield.
Despite being a landlord and Swedish striker short of a full attack force, I’m extremely relaxed about today. Because Anfield is going to give these cheaters hell, and that alone will be plenty of entertainment bang for our buck.
I don’t normally pimp my own ramblings in these How to Watch posts, but if you want to read how much Man City are bad, bad, bad cheaters. You can read about how they cost English teams £2 billion quid. Or about the extent of their cheating and how they’re very, very, very guilty. Or about how I think they should be expelled from the Premier League (or fired into the sun, I’m not bothered which).
