This will be the biggest match to this season in the EPL, Pep Guardiola, and the Man City squad will be travelling to Anfield to play against Liverpool.

At the moment, the two sides are seated at equal points on the EPL table and are only separated by the goal differences.

The two sides are yet to suffer any defeat in the EPL this season except for some games that ended in a draw.

However, Liverpool suffered a defeat in the UCL on Wednesday night against Italian Club, Napoli and they will be hoping to bounce back by defeating Man City on Sunday.

What you don’t know about the match

1. It is a clash of two masters, Jurgen Klopp vs Pep Guardiola

Liverpool and Man City have met under the two coaches fourteen times –  Liverpool have won seven while Man City have won 5, 2 ended in a draw.

Pep Guardiola has repeatedly revealed that Klopp is his Achilles heels, this is because Klopp understands Pep tactics.

But hopefully, Guardiola must have worked out something new ahead of Sunday clash.

2. The Battle between Sergio Aguero and Mo Salah 

Hopefully, the two players will start on Sunday, the game will serve as an opportunity to know the best goal scorers between the two players.

3. Strength and Weakness

Both sides have corrected their weaknesses from last season – Liverpool weakness used to be at the back but now they have Virgil van Dijk and Alisson Becker. Their strength is relatively the same at the front, they both have great strikers.

4. The players that will decide the match

Many will focus on Mo Salah and Sergio Aguero but the game will actually be decided by David Silva and Virgil van Dijk.

5. The two sides have great goalkeepers

Liverpool have Alisson Becker who joined from AS Roma, Man City have Ederson who joined from Benfica.

The two goalkeepers have been spectacular so far.
