Liverpool host Manchester City in the highlight of the weekend s Premier League action, as Jurgen Klopp s men hope to open up a nine-point lead at the summit.
The omens are not great for City, with Liverpool boasting a stunning record in matches against teams who are the defending champions.
But victory for City could blow things wide open in the title race, particularly if Chelsea , who are home to Crystal Palace, and Leicester City hosting Arsenal are triumphant on Saturday.
