Before the match, we revelled in our success over the past year, celebrating the collection of the Big Five with a giant tifo marking our memorable triumphs in the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup.
Then after a solemn minute’s applause to mark the passing of City fans who we’ve lost in the last 12 months, it was into the action on the Etihad pitch.
City were hoping to end the year on a high and also keep pace at the top of the division, with Liverpool currently leading the way.
Pep Guardiola’s men went into this encounter in fourth spot, five points behind the Reds, but with a game in hand.
Could we end 2023 on a high and close down Jurgen Klopp’s men?
