City were the bookies’ favourites to win the title going into the new season and that hasn’t changed after six games. That being said, Pep Guardiola’s men have shown flaws, losing at Tottenham on the opening weekend and dropping points at home to Southampton. Last weekend’s gritty 1-0 win at Chelsea was a major statement of intent, though, and they now sit one point behind Liverpool.

Harry Kane may not have ended up joining City in a big-money move this summer, but Jack Grealish did. The £100 million price tag was certainly an eye-opener, but the early signs suggest he will be a superb signing. Grealish has two goals and assists apiece to his name already he has a level of confidence and swagger that means he won’t be daunted at Anfield, where his likely match up against James Milner will be a big focus.

Klopp will again be without the services of Trent Alexander-Arnold, with the right-back suffering from a groin issue.Midfield pair Thiago and Harvey Elliott are also absent, but otherwise, Liverpool have a full squad to choose from. James Milner is expected to be at right-back, while Joel Matip, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson should also continue in defence. Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Curtis Jones looks like the most go-to midfield-three currently, although fit-again Naby Keita is an option, too. Meanwhile, Klopp has to choose between Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino in attack.

Guardiola has a formidable squad at his disposal, being afforded the kind of riches that most managers can only dream of. For that reason, it is never easy second-guessing how they will line up for any game. The team should be similar to the one that beat Chelsea, though, with Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte at centre-back and Rodri being accompanied by Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva in the middle of the park. Grealish, Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden could make up the attack, with the latter in a false nine role and Jesus playing on the right-hand side to help out Joao Cancelo up against Mohamed Salah.

Milner has had a wonderful career, and while some may feel his spell at City was his most defining, the statistics suggest otherwise. The 35-year-old has now made 254 appearances for Liverpool, whereas he only made 203 during his time at the Etihad. When the Englishman joined the Reds, it was arguably seen as a career swansong, but instead, his achievements have gone on to surpass those at City. What a player he has been.
