Last season, in this exact Premier League fixture, Manchester City ran out 4-1 winners over Liverpool – ending a run of 17 away leagues games without a win at Anfield. However, the Reds haven’t lost consecutive league games against the Citizens since a run of four between 1935 and 1937.
Add in that no manager has enjoyed more success against Pep Guardiola in all competitions than Jurgen Klopp and we are set for a belter of a Premier League match at Anfield on Sunday.

Not only that we will also take a closer look at two other key matches in the Premier League this weekend. Leicester will be hoping to shake off their London blues when they make the trip to Crystal Palace. They’ve lost each of their three away games against London sides, as many as they had in their previous 14 trips to the capital.
Whilst Wolves and Newcastle will be hoping to keep their incredible record of having played 12 Premier League games with both teams scoring in going. The last five games between the sides have ended in 1-1 draws.
