As the 12:30 (UK) game kicked off, it was first versus second as one of the Premier League’s greatest rivalries continued at the Etihad.
City have been imperious on home soil, winning 23 games in succession charting all the way back to our January 2023 FA Cup victory over Chelsea.
That remarkable record was to be put under serious threat from Jurgen Klopp’s high-energy side, aiming to reach the heights that saw them lift the Premier League crown in 2019/20 - their first league title in 30 years – as well as their FA Cup and League Cup triumphs of 2021/22.
On a personal level, Erling Haaland was eyeing 50 top-flight goals and if he scored in this Reds tussle, he’d reach the landmark in the quickest time – 17 games less than former strike ace Andrew Cole.
How would this game play out?
