Klopp: "From a sport's point of view, this rivalry is getting bigger and bigger. Thank god there is a rivalry because it means we are a pretty good team as well. If you are not brave against Man City you don't have the chance of even a point. Everyone has to be in top shape in the stadium on Sunday, even the guy selling the hotdogs. Everyone has to be there from the warm-up and invest all our emotions."

Claudio Bravo comes in for Ederson in goal, as expected, but the big talking point in City's starting XI is the inclusion of Angelino, who is given the nod ahead of Benjamin Mendy at left-back. John Stones and Fernandinho play at centre back. Rodri is passed fit and starts in midfield but there's only a place on the bench for David Silva.

Liverpool are as expected - Jurgen Klopp makes just one change as Fabinho comes in for Adam Lallana. Jordan Henderson had been ill during the week but starts in midfield.
