    GOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL FOR CITYYYYY!!!!! It's Grealish this time, and boy does he deserve it! He's been hassling down the left all afternoon, and the man from Birmingham has been reward after De Bruyne laid it back for his to punt home through the busy Liverpool box.

    GOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLL FOR CITYYYYY!!!!!! Wow we weren't given any breathing time for that one. Belgian star De Bruyne finds the home side's second after Mahrez was let loose down the right. The Algerian charged down the wing before tossing one in to the charging midfielder, who makes no mistake.
  • 46'
    The second forty-five is underway here at the Etihad... let's see who comes out on top.
  • 45'

    GOOOOOAALLLLLLLL FOR CITYYYY!!!!!! What a move from the home side.... Grealish picks up the ball on the left flank before squaring it to Julian Alvarez. It was a tap-in for the Argentine who sees Alisson unable to prevent the equaliser.

  • 17'
    GOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLL FOR LIVERPOOL!!!!!! Jota was threaded through on goal nicely, and the Portuguese did some great hold-up play, waiting for Salaha to join him up top. He laid it off to the Egyptian, who was charging in to bury it past Ederson.
  • 15'
    Wow, that was close from Mahrez. The Algerian curls it round the far post, with Alisson rooted to the spot.
  • 14'
    City players taunting the visitors here, KdB the latest to win a free-kick. In a dangerous spot too...
  • 11'
    Nice move from City ended at Rodri's feet, with the Spaniard volleying it well on goal. Just too central from the City man.
  • 9'
    Gundogan receives a great ball to the back post, but the German can only put it on goal tamely.
  • 7'
    Fabinho's getting dominated by Grealish here, pulling him down for a second foul.

    City go into this one with the better form, winning their last seven in all competitions. Thanks to Guardiola's side's stellar form of late, they're purring nicely in the competitions which remain.
  • PRVW
    With just two wins in their last six outings, The Reds will be hoping to put behind them the disappointing Champions League defeat they had against Spanish giants Real Madrid, as well as trying to turn things around from their last domestic game on the road to Bournemouth which saw them fall 1-0.
  • PRVW
    As for Klopp's men, they'll be desperate to close the gap in their bid for the top four, and to maintain pressure on Tottenham and Newcastle, who both play later.
  • PRVW
    It's City hosting Liverpool as Guardiola's 2nd placed City need to beat 6th placed Liverpool to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to 5 points.
