Liverpool vs Man City: Grudge match between two unbeaten EPL teams

Manchester City’s first Premier League game since they were found guilty of financial breaches will see them travel to Liverpool on Sunday evening.

It makes you wonder who writes these scripts.

City denied the Reds at least two titles during Jurgen Klopp’s reign.

And now with all these charges, the fixture at Anfield could turn out to be a grudge match.

The two teams go into the encounter unbeaten in the league so far.

City are almost certain to finish this weekend top of the log, as they have won all five games and hold a healthy goal difference over Arsenal.

But the entire world will be watching to see how they perform amid all the off-field noise.

Liverpool have not been so great under Andoni Iraola. They have picked up just nine points so far and are in danger of falling behind in the title race.

If there was ever a game where Iraola needs to announce his arrival to the fans, this could be it.

The Spaniard’s cause might not be helped by injury doubts surrounding Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo, two of his best performers this season.

City, on the other hand, would not only want to prove a point on the pitch, but also maintain their grip on first place.
