Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will tangle for the final time in the Premier League as Liverpool and Manchester City contest their latest seismic clash at Anfield.
Liverpool are a point ahead of champions City, with Arsenal having edged into the lead in this three-pronged title race after defeating Brentford 2-1 in their match on Saturday.
Darwin Nunez's dramatic late winner at Nottingham Forest last weekend kept the Reds on top of the pile ahead of this weekend, while City's Phil Foden-inspired 3-1 win over Manchester United in the derby extended their ongoing unbeaten Premier League run to 12 matches.
That streak is set to endure a severe examination at Anfield. Although City ran out 4-1 winners in this fixture in the behind-closed-doors 2020/21 season, they last won at Liverpool's stadium with a crowd in attendance when Nicolas Anelka's brace snatched a 2-1 in May 2003.
