Premier League rivals join forces

'Sky Sports' reports that the two sides have funded the jet to bring back their Brazilian stars from Barranquilla where they play Colombia on Tuesday night.

City's Gabriel Jesus, Ederson and Fernandinho will share the flight with fellow countrymen Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino with Chelsea's Willian also expected to join them.

Meanwhile, City's Argentine internationals Sergio Aguero and Nicolas Otamendi are expected to be flown back in similar fashion following their game against Venezuela in Buenos Aires.

This is not the first time teams have banded together to bring their stars back to Europe quickly, with several Premier League clubs joining forces with PSG to do similar after last November's World Cup qualifiers.

Join us on Saturday for live coverage of the game between City and Liverpool.
