Manchester City vs Liverpool match preview
When the fixtures were announced on 16 June, many wouldβve pointed towards this as a key game in the title run-in.
However, only one of these two clubs have managed to live up to their own lofty ambitions, but this fixture remains a red-letter day in the diary.
Manchester City are very much in the title race, although the Sky Blues kick off eight points below Arsenal, admittedly with a game in hand.
Pep Guardiolaβs team come into this clash in ominous form, seeking to win four successive league matches for the first time all season.
Since their most-recent victory, the Citizens have smashed RB Leipzig 7-0 and Burnley 6-0, so very much remain on track to win the treble.
With the gap at the top as large as it is, Man City probably need to win at least eight of their 11 remaining games, with this certainly one of the toughest.
The Redsβ last two league results almost perfectly encapsulate their season, smashing Manchester United 7-0 before losing 1-0 at Bournemouth just six days later.
JΓΌrgen Kloppβs team had seemingly rediscovered their mojo, accumulating 13 points from a possible 15, before that lifeless and lacklustre defeat at Dean Court.
After this, Liverpool face Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, before welcoming Arsenal to Anfield on Easter Sunday.
With the Reds currently five points adrift fourth-placed Tottenham, this week will be key as they seek to make a late charge into the top four.
Liverpool are winless in five visits to the Etihad, beaten 3-2 there in the Carabao Cup just before Christmas.
So, can Kloppβs team claim a statement win, or will Guardiolaβs side pile the pressure on Arsenal with victory in this blockbuster early kick off?
Manchester City team news
Phil Foden will be out for at least three weeks after having his appendix removed last weekend.
Meanwhile, Erling Braut HΓ₯land is a major doubt, having not featured in either of Norwayβs games this week.
Given that HΓ₯land has scored 42 goals this season, including eight in his last three games, this would be a serious blow.
HΓ₯land has become the first player to score a hat-trick in Englandβs top-flight, the FA Cup and the European Cup all in the same season since Liverpoolβs John Wark in 1984/85.
Without either, JuliΓ‘n Γlvarez is likely to lead the line, with Bernardo Silva returning on the right-wing.
Predicted XI (4-1-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, AkΓ©; Rodri, GΓΌndoΔan, Silva, De Bruyne, Grealish; Γlvarez.
Liverpool team news
Stefan BajΔetiΔ and Thiago are both out long-term, so Naby KeΓ―ta could start in midfield, alongside Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.
Darwin NΓΊΓ±ez scored on his debut against Man City in the Community Shield and, despite returning from international duty earlier, is expected to be fit.
Liverpoolβs last league win at the Etihad came in November 2015, a famous 4-1 success, with James Milner and Roberto Firmino the only players still at the club from that day.
As for Luis DΓaz, heβs set to be on the bench, hoping to feature for the first time since hobbling off against Arsenal in mid-October.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, KonatΓ©, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, KeΓ―ta; Salah, Gakpo, NΓΊΓ±ez.
