The biggest game of the Premier League season so far takes place this afternoon.

Champions Manchester City are away to 2019/2020 winners Liverpool.

The Reds come into the game off the back of a 5-1 win over Porto in the Champions League during the week, City meanwhile lost 2-0 to PSG.

Liverpool will be without right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold who has a groin injury.

City won 4-1 when the sides met at Anfield back in February.
