The biggest game on this weekend’s Premier League TV schedule comes from Anfield, with Liverpool set to host Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

Clashes between the two sides have been must-watch events in recent seasons and often proved pivotal in the title race but Jurgen Klopp suggested his side are no longer in the running for the most revered piece of English silverware after their defeat to Arsenal last weekend.

They returned to form in style with a 7-1 victory over Rangers in the Champions League on Wednesday but look set to be without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, and Joel Matip for Saturday as the trio all picked up issues at the Emirates.

That is hardly ideal preparation for the visit of last season’s champions, who have been in ominous form in the Premier League recently – scoring 10 goals in their last two games.

They were uncharacteristically wasteful against FC Copenhagen in the Champions League in midweek but have bounced back from their other two draws this season with comprehensive victories.

Liverpool may have hammered Rangers on Wednesday but Saturday’s opponents are playing at a different level. Virgil van Dijk is unbeaten in 68 league games at Anfield but that record looks under serious threat.

Our prediction: Liverpool v Man City

Ahead of the new campaign, the prospect of Erling Haaland and Virgil van Dijk facing off at Anfield was mouthwatering but it now almost seems like an unfair fight.

Given the way Arsenal cut through the Liverpool defence last weekend, they could be in for a very tough afternoon on Sunday against the Premier League top scorers, who have found the net 33 times in their nine league games this term.

They will have taken plenty of confidence from their midweek brilliance and it may be that a match against their recent rivals helps Klopp’s side to raise their game but Man City are playing at a different level right now and look on course to end van Dijk’s unbeaten run at Anfield.

Our prediction: Liverpool 1-3 Man City (12/1 at bet365)
