Unbeaten in 16 league games and enjoying the longest current run without defeat in the top four tiers of English football, Liverpool will host Manchester City in a Premier League game at Anfield on Sunday.
The Reds are the only side still unbeaten in the Premier League this season (W4 D2) and they have also netted more goals than any other side this term (15). However, Manchester City have conceded the fewest goals so far in 2021-22 (1), keeping a clean sheet in each of their last five games.

Since Jurgen Klopp confirmed that Trent Alexander-Arnold is not fit to face the Citizens, he will be unavailable alongside Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara.

Guardiola has lost more games against Klopp in all competitions than he has against any opposing manager in his career (8). Meanwhile, of the sides he’s faced at least 10 times in all competitions, Guardiola’s lowest win rate is against Liverpool (30.8% - W4 D4 L5).
