While Pep Guardiola’s side are second on 23 points, Jurgen Klopp’s charges are a lowly 10th on 10 points.
Obviously title races aren’t decided in October, but you really have to worry for Liverpool’s hopes if they lose.
As things stand, City and Arsenal are beginning to race away from the rest of the pack.
However, a Liverpool win could help blow the title race wide open again.
And Anfield remains a fortress, with Liverpool unbeaten in 27 top-flight games at their home.
‘Use the crowd’
Jamie Carragher, writing on Sky Sports, feels the Reds and the Citizens will play out a score draw.
The Anfield legend reckons it’ll be a “tough game for both” and that Liverpool will use the crowd and be “really aggressive”.
Carragher wrote: “I don’t expect Liverpool to take a backward step – it’s not their style.

“They’re at Anfield so I expect to use the crowd and be really aggressive and make it as difficult as they can for Manchester City.
“I think it will be a tough game for both. Manchester City don’t have a great record at Anfield but Liverpool are up against the best team in the world.
“I think it will be a great game and a draw again – 1-1 or 2-2 like last season.”
