Virgil van Dijk looks on during Liverpool's match against Monaco
Liverpool players taunted their Manchester City counterparts before Sunday's highly-charged Anfield clash - using the in-stadium playlist.
Tracks including the Whitney Houston classic 'It's Not Right' and Calvin Harris' 'Blame' were belted out of the PA system as City stars went through their pre-match warm-up.

The full time whistle was met by a rendition of the 1980s hit 'Little Lies' by Fleetwood Mac in a not-so-subtle swipe at the visitors after they were found guilty of breaching the Premier League's financial rules.
talkSPORT has been told that the playlist was put together by Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and his teammates.
Although the Reds may have won the off-field battle in terms of the music, they were comprehensively beaten on it.
How Liverpool's defeat to Manchester City unfolded
City ran out 3-0 victors courtesy of goals from Erling Haaland, Jeremy Doku and Rayan Cherki to preserve their perfect start to the season.
All three goals were scored in a blistering 13-minute spell following Ryan Gravenberch's red card in the 62nd minute.
Haaland bagged his sixth goal of the season when he swept home from inside the box after Doku's effort took a deflection and fell kindly into his path.
Doku doubled City's advantage when he cut in from the left and unleashed a curling effort into the top right corner.
Cherki rounded out a delightful evening at Anfield for City with a cool finish that capped off a scintillating passage of play inside Liverpool's box.

How did Enzo Maresca celebrate City's win?
The win prompted jubilant scenes in the away end from City fans, who had brought inflatable bananas with them.
City boss Enzo Maresca was also delighted with the performance, as witnesses told talkSPORT he was being particularly vocal with his celebrations when he re-entered the away dressing room following the contest.

Despite the win, City found themselves on the wrong side of the Premier League's rule book yet again shortly after the contest.
As a result, City breached rule K.207 in the Premier League's handbook for the 2026/27 season.
No explanation was provided by City as to why Maresca was not allowed to speak to talkSPORT.
Maresca did conduct post-match interviews with Sky Sports as well as the traditional post-match press conference.
City return to action on Wednesday when they host Paris Saint-Germain in a bumper Champions League clash, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm.
