When Manchester United take on Liverpool, it has always been a treat to watch. But Manchester City and Liverpool have produced some memorable matches, and have created their own rivalry in the past few seasons.
Manchester City and Liverpool were the two title contenders in the Premier League last season, but it was Manchester City who eventually won the title on the last day of the season, as Liverpool dropped crucial points to Crystal Palace and Chelsea towards the end of last season.
Liverpool might not be in title contention this season, but they would love to pour some misery on Manchester City's title hopes this season with a win on Sunday, in front of their home fans.
City on the other hand will be looking to earn all three points as they look to add pressure on Chelsea, at the top of the table, and cut the deficit of five points to just two. Chelsea will not be in Premier League action this weekend, as they face Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup Final on Sunday.
There'll be a nostalgic feeling surrounding Anfield on Sunday, as the corresponding fixture last season saw Liverpool beat City to a scoreline of 3-2 and edged them closer to the Premier League title, thanks to Phillipe Coutinho's curling strike in the 77th minute. They will look to emulate that same performance against City on Sunday, as they look to stay in contention for the coveted Champions League spots, with a win.
Both City and Liverpool enter this match on the back of European defeats to Barcelona and Besiktas respectively and will look to get back to winning ways, come Sunday. On the positive side, Liverpool are on a formidable run of 10 Premier League games unbeaten, and will be in no mood to end their streak. City on the hand, haven't won at Anfield in the last 12 years and Sunday's game will be the best time to break their jinx.
Yaya Toure is back in the side for City, after he missed the 2-1 home defeat to Barcelona due to suspension. Phillipe Coutinho will be back in action for Liverpool as he was rested in the defeat to Besiktas in their Europa League clash, while Lazar Markovic will be back in contention for Sunday's match. Liverpool will check on the fitness of captain Steven Gerrard (hamstring), Jordan Henderson (ankle), Mamadou Sakho (hip) and Glen Johnson (illness), as they will be looking to be a 100%, in what appears to be a cracker of a match.
