Liverpool can go nine points clear at the top of the table if they record a second win in their last 10 Premier League meetings with Manchester City on Sunday.
The reigning champions arrive at Anfield at risk of a near-unthinkable fifth consecutive domestic defeat, having lost 4-0 at home to Tottenham on November 23.
By stark contrast, new manager Arne Slot has guided Liverpool to 14 wins from their last 15 games in all competitions, including victories in each of their six most recent matches.
