Confirmed Liverpool XI vs Manchester City

Liverpool finally return to action this afternoon after a three week international break.

Andoni Iraola’s side face league leaders Manchester City, who have dominated headlines in recent weeks after being found guilty of 115 Premier League financial charges.

It adds an extra narrative to a fixture that has been the showcase English fixture of the last decade.

But now the focus turns to the pitch at Anfield, which is all that truly matters this afternoon.
