Man City will take on Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 9 November, a huge Premier League fixture before the November international break.
With Arsenal currently six points clear of City and seven clear of Liverpool, this should be regarded as a must-win fixture for both sides, which sets us up for a thriller in Manchester.

Man City preview: Rodri to miss out?
Manchester City are likely to be without Rodri on Sunday afternoon, with the midfielder expected to rest now until after the international break. The Spaniard is joined in the treatment room by Croatian Mateo Kovacic, who is nursing a long-term ankle problem.
Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK), Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Gonzalez, Bernardo, Cherki, Foden, Doku, Haaland
Last five results
- Man City 4-1 Borussia Dortmund
- Man City 3-1 Bournemouth
- Swansea City 1-3 Man City
- Aston Villa 1-0 Man City
- Villarreal 0-2 Man City
Liverpool preview: Will Isak be ready?
Arne Slot is in no rush to get Alexander Isak back fit after a couple of better Liverpool performances without the Swede. In any case, the former Newcastle man is expected to be left out due to an ongoing groin injury. Slot is also without Jeremie Frimpong, Giovanni Leoni and Alisson for the trip to Manchester.
Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Salah, Wirtz, Ekitike
Last five results
- Liverpool 1-0 Real Madrid
- Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa
- Liverpool 0-3 Crystal Palace
- Brentford 3-2 Liverpool
- Frankfurt 1-5 Liverpool
Player to watch: Erling Haaland
Liverpool managed to keep Kylian Mbappe from scoring on Tuesday, but they will have to be even better to keep Haaland out. City's number 9 needs just two more goals to reach 100 Premier League goals. If he does manage to score those goals in any of his next 17 appearances, then he will become the quickest player in PL history to do so.
