The Premier League is back with a bang this weekend as Manchester City host Liverpool.
It is the first game back after the final international break of the season and once again sees the two jostling for top spot.
City went into the break with a chaotic draw away at Chelsea and have since dealt a number of injury problems. They lead the way over the Reds by just a single point as things stand and can claim a statement win against a big rival.
Still, Liverpool look back to something approaching their best. After such a poor campaign last time out, Jurgen Klopp’s side have lost only once in the League this season and a title challenge appears to be building following a resounding 3-0 win over Brentford.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Man City vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 12.30pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 25 November, 2023.
The Etihad Stadium in Manchester will host.
