The Premier League is back. Man City vs. Liverpool is an important matchup that will determine the fate of the EPL title.

Man City have stepped up a gear in recent weeks and Liverpool have likewise improved as the season has progressed. It is no surprise that both of these teams head into today's match as the top two in the league.

Despite their relatively poor record at the Etihad Stadium, including a 4-1 defeat last season, players like Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez will provide enough firepower to trouble City's dubious defense. Off the pitch, the touchline exchanges between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola should add some extra spice.

The Citizens have a number of injuries. Among them was Erling Harland, but the superstar striker recovered from a knock to start. Curtis Jones and Alexis Mc Allister return for the Reds.

The starting lineup includes:

Man City Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Diaz, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo, Doc, Foden, Alvarez, Harland

Liverpool Allison, Alexander Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Shoboshlai, Jones, Salah, Nunez, Iota
