Overview
- Kick-off is 4:30pm GMT on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium, with live coverage in the UK on Sky Sports.
- City’s home form remains strong and Erling Haaland leads the league scoring charts, having netted 18 in 14 across competitions.
- Liverpool arrive buoyed by consecutive clean sheets and wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid after a poor October run.
- Team news points to Alisson still sidelined with Giorgi Mamardashvili in goal, Alexander Isak back in training but likely on the bench, Mateo Kovacic out long-term, and Rodri unlikely to be risked.
- Pep Guardiola marks his 1,000th game in management as historical data highlights how early gaps—such as a seven-point deficit after 10 games—are rarely overturned.
