Manchester City 4-0 Liverpool: Observations from a night to forget
For Liverpool, Thursday's trip to the Etihad peaked before it had even begun. The side who had come out on top last season in the most agonising circumstances were reduced to rolling out the red carpet for the most dominant champions in Premier League history as they took to the field.

Drunk, sober or hungover? How Liverpool rated in the 4-0 loss to Manchester City!

Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah both look to be winning the race to be fit for The Reds' Premier League return against Everton this Sunday night.
