The champions meet the challengers in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as Liverpool welcome runaway leaders Manchester City to Anfield for a mouthwatering contest.
The visitors extended their winning run across all competitions to 13 matches with a comfortable 2-0 win over Burnley in midweek, with Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling putting the tie to bed before half time.
That victory saw Pep Guardiola's side extend their lead at the top of the table to three points over Manchester United - who have played a game more - and they could move 10 points clear of Liverpool should they overcome the holders on Merseyside.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's battle.
