Liverpool v Manchester City live - Updates from top of the table Premier League clash

An awkward save from the Liverpool goalkeeper, but he denies De Bruyne, who tries his luck with a fierce, swerving effort from 25 yards this is beaten away

Another flowing City move down their left. Alavarez plays in De Bruyne, who either tries a shot or a cross; whichever it is, the ball floats wide of the far post

City have dominated these opening exchanges - so much so that they have enjoyed 74% of the ball so far

Some bright, silky passing by Manchester City early on, and they work a chance for Julian Alvarez on the left hand side of the area. He sends a low shot towards goal, but Caoimhin Kelleher is equal to it

Liverpool kick things off. We're underway!

You'll Never Walk Alone blasts out around Anfield as the two teams line up. City have won the first battle too. They've forced Liverpool to shoot towards the Kop in the first half

Anfield is bouncing. This is the big one. Here's a reminder of the two starting elevens

Trent Alexander-Arnold's late goal meant these two teams drew 1-1 at the Etihad earlier in the season.

Anfield has not been a happy hunting ground for Manchester City though; they have won here just once since 2003 (losing 14 times and drawing seven). That victory? 4-1 in February 2021, with Ilkay Gundogan netting twice, alongside goals for Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden.

All three of Manchester City's league defeats this season have come on the road; against Aston Villa, Arsenal, Wolves

So; here's how the top three looks ahead of today's game. Arsenal are currently top, but if either Liverpool or City win today, they will move into first place with ten games remaining

There's plenty of Premier League action today, and Tottenham have already registered a massive victory away to ten-man Aston Villa. Here's a run down of all the drama

The visitors meanwhile beat Copenhagen 3-1 in the UEFA Champions League in midweek, and did so without a number of star names.

The majority of them return today though, as Kyle Walker, Nathan Ake, John Stones, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva replace Rico Lewis, Ruben Dias, Oscar Bobb, Josko Gvardiol, Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic

Liverpool, ravaged by injury, make three changes from the 5-1 win over Sparta Prague in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, as Conor Bradley, Virgil van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai come in for Ibrahima Konate, Andrew Robertson and Cody Gakpo.

Perhaps the biggest surprise, though, is that Mo Salah, who came off the bench in that game, remains among the substitutes. Jurgen Klopp says "We can bring him, which is super cool, but no, it was not a big decision [to not start him]."
