Manchester City will host Liverpool at the Etihad on Sunday, aiming to disrupt the visitors’ title ambitions while strengthening their own push for a top-four finish. After getting eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, Manchester City now have only a slim chance of claiming the Premier League title.
As they prepare to face Liverpool, the Citizens will be determined to end the season on a strong note and make it challenging for their rivals to secure silverware. On the other hand, Liverpool will be eager to regain momentum with a crucial win. The Reds have dropped points in two of their last three league games and cannot afford another setback.

Doku and Foden start in the wide areas, supporting Haaland who will spearhead the attack.
