Manchester City face one of their toughest tests of the season so far on Saturday as Pep Guardiola's side welcome Liverpool to the Etihad.
Just three points separate City in first and Aston Villa in fifth in a tight Premier League title race, with City's 4-4 draw against Chelsea keeping Guardiola's side among the pack. Next up for City is Liverpool, where victory would take the Premier League champions four points clear of Jurgen Klopp's side.
Erling Haaland, Rodri, Ederson, Nathan Ake and Sergio Gomez all returned to training ahead of the clash with Liverpool, offering Guardiola's side a big boost. The last time City lost to Liverpool at home in the league came all the way back in 2015, with the last meeting ending in a 4-1 win for City.

So can City continue their strong home record against Liverpool on Saturday? Let's take a look.
To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 24 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.
We predict that City could start in a 4-3-3 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol; Rodri, Bernardo, Alvarez; Foden, Haaland, Doku.
We predict that Liverpool could start in a 4-3-3 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Gravenberch; Salah, Nunez, Jota.
City started slowly, with Liverpool unlucky not to go ahead within the first 10 minutes when Luis Diaz's header from Mohamed Salah's cross rattled the crossbar. The Reds were in control at the Etihad, but all City needed was one chance
