Arguably the biggest game of the season is set to get underway in just a matter of hours as Manchester City host Liverpool at the Etihad.
City are unbeaten since their defeat to Arsenal back in October, however just before the international break Guardiola's side were involved in a pulsating 4-4 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in what was one of the stand-out games of the season so far. Rodri had looked to have secured the three points for City until former Blues' youngster Cole Palmer converted a 95th minute penalty to rescue the draw for the London club.
City now face a Liverpool side who are unbeaten in five games and currently sit second in the table just one point behind the Blues with both having played 12 games. After an off season for the Reds where they struggled to challenge at the top of the Premier League, signs are pointing towards Jurgen Klopp's side being back in the hunt and today's clash will bring to mind some titanic top of the table clashes between City and Liverpool in recent years.
The game doesn't come at an ideal time for both clubs with Liverpool welcoming a number of their players back from international duty midweek while City are battling a potential injury crisis. Guardiola is now sweating on the fitness of Erling Haaland, Rodri, John Stones and more but with Liverpool's record poor at the Etihad he will be hoping City can overcome the Reds regardless of who turns out in blue.
City will take on Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium today, Saturday November 25, and kick-off is set for 12:30pm.
