Man City vs Liverpool – Watch Live

Manchester City are a point behind Spurs after a disappointing festive period, with Jurgen Klopp’s side able to create a 10-point lead over the reigning champions with victory on Thursday.

It has been billed as one of the biggest games of the Premier League season, with both sets of supporters having an eye on this fixture for weeks.

Whilst a draw for the Reds will be viewed as a positive result, the home side need all three points to close the gap at the top, with manager Pep Guardiola calling it “a big opportunity” to do so.
