Apart from a clash between two of the strongest teams in the league, this fixture holds great significance as it is the first game City will be playing after being found guilty of breaking financial rules.
An independent commission appointed by the Premier League found that the club had used a “sham” contract to inflate its revenue over nine years from 2009 to 2018.
City has stuck with its innocent claim and has filed an appeal, while the Premier League itself is yet to announce the sanctions.
Regardless, the Anfield crowd is expected to be ruthless to the visiting side which sits at the top of the table for now with 15 points while Liverpool is seventh with nine.
