Man City v Liverpool

Pep Guardiola has made three changes for Manchester City's top of the table clash with Liverpool.

- Liverpool have won each of their past 10 league games, keeping eight clean sheets in the process. - PhilFodenhas scored in each of his past three appearances against Liverpool - the only player to net in four successive top-flight games against the Reds is Jamie Vardy, who did so in five consecutive fixtures between 2016 and 2017. - RiyadMahrezis aiming to become the third City player to score in six consecutive Premier League home games, after Uwe Rosler in 1994 and Alvaro Negredo in 2013. - The Reds have not kept a clean sheet in any of their past 11 league matches at Etihad. - City have lost just one of our last 12 Premier League home games against Liverpool (W7 D4), going down 4-1 in Jürgen Klopp’s first visit to the Etihad in the competition in November 2015. Guardiola admitted he expects his side will have to defend in spells against a side boasting an incredible amount of firepower, so the return of one of his most trusted lieutenants in Walker is a welcome boost.
