Manchester City and Liverpool have been the two best teams in England in recent seasons and have produced some of the greatest moments in Premier League history as they contested title after title.
Both teams have pushed each other to the limit for years, but that has stopped this season as the Merseyside club have had a really tough start to the season.
Liverpool have won just two of their first eight matches and currently sit in 10th position in the league table.
Jurgen Klopp’s side now have the unenviable task of trying to stop a flying Man City on Sunday at Anfield and a defeat would see them drop 16 points behind Pep Guardiola’s side and virtually out of that title race.
However, despite their difficult start to the campaign, Guardiola believes Liverpool are still in contention for the title and will once again be City’s biggest threat this season.

Before the match at Anfield on Sunday, Guardiola was asked if Liverpool remain Man City’s biggest title challengers this season, to which the Spaniard replied: “Always have been, always are and always will be.
“I know the quality they have. They know the quality we have.
Asked why he had such faith in Liverpool considering their start to the season, Guardiola said: “If I were to answer this question with 10 games remaining, I would say ‘I don’t think Liverpool can reach the top of the league.’ ‘
“Being in the position we are in and the World Cup is still [to happen]anything can happen.”
“Always has been, always is and always will be.”
