Liverpool's clashes with Manchester City have become the Premier League's modern classic in the era of Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, but Sunday's clash at Anfield could already spell the end of the Reds' title aspirations.
But a run of two wins from their opening eight Premier League games has left Liverpool 14 points behind leaders Arsenal and 13 adrift of City.
But City have only won at Anfield once since 2003 and that was in front of an empty stadium in February 2021.
"It changed the mood completely, but we all know who we are welcoming on Sunday and this will be a different game," said Klopp after putting the Glasgow giants to the sword at Ibrox.
Manchester United have won five of their last six league games, but a 6-3 humiliation at the hands of City in between times showed they are far from the finished article in the early months of Erik ten Hag's reign.
Aston Villa may be on a four-game unbeaten run, but the manner of performances in drawing against 10-man Leeds and struggling Nottingham Forest in recent weeks has jacked up the pressure on Steven Gerrard's position.
