Big Match Breakdown: Liverpool v Manchester City

Can the Reds end City’s unbeaten run?

Manchester City look almost certain to win the Premier League title, but can they go the rest of the campaign without defeat?

City are now 30 top-flight games without defeat, a run that’s given them a 15-point lead at the top of the table.

But Sunday’s trip to Liverpool could be the toughest league game they’ve got left to play.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are fourth and can’t afford to lose ground in the race for a Champions League spot.

Head to Head          

City ran out 5-0 winners when these two sides met at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season. But Liverpool played with 10 men for almost an hour following Sadio Mane’s first-half red card.

Other than that game, the Reds have had the better of City in recent years. They hadn’t lost any of the previous six games against City, winning three of those.

Likely XIs

Even without Philippe Coutinho, Liverpool will still pose a huge threat going forward with Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Mane.

Virgil van Dijk should make his first league start for Liverpool here but Jordan Henderson is still out. James Milner is likely to start in central midfield against his former club as a result.

For City, Fabian Delph is expected to return at left-back. Pep Guardiola’s side will be close to full strength otherwise, with Vincent Kompany and Gabriel Jesus the only major absentees.
