Summary

Two of the Premier League title favourites face off on Sunday in what should be a huge battle between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. So Matt Addison is joined by Man City fan brand writer for the Manchester Evening News, Alex Brotherton, to preview the game and get the lowdown on Pep Guardiola's side and their form heading into the clash, having beaten Chelsea last weekend and then lost 2-0 to Lionel Messi and PSG in midweek. On the agenda are Jack Grealish, the failed pursuit of Harry Kane this summer, Raheem Sterling's struggles, Gabriel Jesus' new position, Bernardo Silva's form, Guardiola's dig at his own fans, and much more.
