Did you know?

Liverpool have lost each of their last two Premier League home outings, having been unbeaten in 68 at Anfield before this. They have not lost three in a row at home in league competition since September 1963.

Since a 2-1 defeat in May 2003, Liverpool have lost only one of their 29 home league matches against Manchester City (W19 D9).

Man City have won each of their last 13 matches in all competitions – victory at Anfield will see them equal the record for an English top-flight club, set by Preston in January 1892 and Arsenal in November 1987.

Raheem Sterling has scored 99 goals in all competitions for City under Pep Guardiola. His next goal will mean he becomes the third player to reach triple figures under the Spaniard, after Lionel Messi (211) and Sergio Aguero (120).
