Key events
Jamie Carragher looked a bit twitchy when he and Micah Richards were bantering earlier. His socials suggest his comments were taken out of context. Pep was fuming. All fuel to the fire.
Haaland’s knee problem looked nasty last week – but City have been tight-lipped.

Preamble
Here we are, there we were, all this confusion: which Manchester City team will Liverpool face? The team they came to fear and respect over so many years? Or the fallible, panicky group that was humiliated in Madrid? Mind, which Liverpool team do we see today? There’s been signs of a wobble, Arne Slot not looking nearly so cool. Liverpool aim for the title, City look to the top five but despite those varying targets, it’s still key to how the season ends.
Kick-off at 4.30pm. Join me.
