Liverpool vs Man City: Premier League - LIVE
City are expected to receive a hostile atmosphere this afternoon at Anfield in what is their first match since an independent commission found them guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the top-flight's financial rules over a nine-season period between 2009/10 and 2018/19. City deny any wrongdoing and have launched an appeal, with serious sanctions likely if that fails.
Liverpool are among the clubs said to have reserved their right to seek compensation, having finished as runners-up to City once during the period in question and also lost to them in a cup final. Reds fans are unlikely to be shy in expressing their anger during what promises to be a highly-charged showdown on Merseyside, though their attempts to inflict a first defeat on City this season are weakened by injuries to Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.
There have also been late questions over Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, while Erling Haaland is fit to start for City after a knock. Follow Liverpool vs Man City live below!

Head to head (h2h) history and results Man City won all three meetings against Liverpool last season, including a last-gasp 2-1 win at Anfield when the teams met in February. City, though, have not recorded successive league victories at Anfield since January 1953.
Liverpool wins: 110 Man City wins: 63 Draws: 58 Score prediction Of course, it's difficult to not be laser-focused on matters off the pitch as a fired up Anfield will have an impact on the Manchester City players. On the pitch though, City have been perfect so far while Liverpool are yet to win at home in the Premier League.
It could very well come down to who deals best with the emotions, but we think Man City having Erling Haaland fit and Alexander Isak's absence for Liverpool will prove decisive. Man City team news: Haaland fit Erling Haaland emerged as a major injury scare for Manchester City after limping off in Norway's Nations League defeat to Portugal last weekend.
However, Enzo Maresca revealed the in-form striker has enjoyed a period of rest and is "ready" for this afternoon's showdown. Despite pulling out of the Ghana squad during the international break, Antoine Semenyo is also expected to be available but Nico O'Reilly is doubtful.
Phil Foden, red carded in the Manchester derby last month, completes his three-match suspension today. Neither forward is expected to be out for the long-term, but they will not be available for selection this afternoon which means Andoni Iraola's options in attack are limited.
