Manchester City vs Liverpool Match Preview: Where to get tickets
Manchester City will face Liverpool after the international break in a contest between two of the best clubs in the Premier League.
The Citizens have been one of the top sides in Europe in the last few terms and share an impressive rivalry with Liverpool in the Premier League.
Last season, they won the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup to cement their place as the best club in Europe.
We expect them to win the Club World Cup, and they have started this term as the leading side in England again.
Since Pep Guardiola moved to England, the club that has given them the most problem is Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp joined the Reds one season before Pep came to England and they continued the rivalry they had shared in Germany.
Pep managed Bayern Munich, while Klopp was the gaffer of Borussia Dortmund, and the Spaniard came out on top in the Bundesliga.
In England, it has been close, but the Spaniard is dominating as his team has won five of the last six Premier League titles, with Liverpool winning the other.
Recent success for both clubs
Fans who bought Manchester City tickets in the last few campaigns have witnessed their team enjoying unrivalled success for the last seven years.
But Liverpool has also had a good time, with the Reds going close to winning a quadruple in 2022.
They won the FA Cup and Carabao Cup but lost the Champions League to Real Madrid and the Premier League to Manchester City on the last day of the season.
In 2020, they ended three decades' worth of hurt to win the Premier League ahead of Manchester City and other title challengers.
But City came back as champions in 2021, 2022, and 2023, keeping themselves the best club in England.
One pivotal game that shifted the balance of power in their favour against Liverpool was a Premier League game between both clubs in the 2017/2018 season.
Sadio Mane received an early red card and City won the match 5-0. Since then, the Citizens have been confident they could beat any opponent.
Before that match, Liverpool had been trouncing City under Jurgen Klopp, so the next head-to-head game will be a tough fixture for both clubs.
City is still the overwhelming favourite to win the Premier League, while Liverpool is recovering from their struggles in the last campaign.
The Reds have revamped their midfield, but their team is still a work in progress.
City also had to replace some key players, but their new signings seem to do better than Liverpool's, with Jeremy Doku shining.

Previous meetings to remember
Almost every game that has involved these two clubs is memorable because whenever they meet, there is so much excitement in the air.
Both clubs have created the latest big rivalry between two top teams in the Premier League.
In the late '90s and 2000s, it was Arsenal and Manchester United who shared this type of rivalry, but City and Liverpool are the two big clubs in the country now.
Some of the most memorable games between these clubs in recent times include:
Liverpool 1-0 Manchester City, October 2022
It was a start to another season, with both clubs looking to make an impression in a very close game.
Liverpool was struggling in the league, but this game offered them a chance to get back to form and show they could still win a huge match in front of their fans.
City would go on to win the title, but they could not find the edge in this close game, as Mohamed Salah's superb effort after spinning Joao Cancelo to go one-on-one with Ederson was enough to separate both clubs.
City had been the better side for much of this fixture, but the win came down to fine margins, as always when these teams meet.
Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City, October 2021
Liverpool and Manchester City served us another thriller in this 2-2 draw, with the main attraction being Mohamed Salah's goal.
The Reds took the lead through Sadio Mane in the second half, but Manchester City equalised through Phil Foden.
The stage was set for Mohamed Salah to show why he is considered one of the best players in the world and why we all love him.
The Egyptian spun the entire Manchester City defence and hit a nice shot on his weaker foot, which was too much for Ederson to catch, and it landed in the back of the net to send Anfield into delirium.
But that did not stop City from looking to get back in the game, and they found an equaliser through Kevin de Bruyne less than ten minutes after Salah scored his wonder goal.
Manchester City 4-0 Liverpool, July 2020
Liverpool were confirmed as the champions of England for the first time in 30 years when they visited Manchester City for this game.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the game was played behind closed doors as the Premier League restarted to finish the 2019/2020 season.
Liverpool did not look so interested in the game, and City won the match 4-0; it could have ended 5-0 if the Citizens had not had a late strike ruled out for handball.
Liverpool 3-1 Manchester City, November 2019
This was the game that Liverpool sent a message to everyone who cared about their desire to win the league.
Jurgen Klopp's men had won the Champions League in May and had their eyes on the Premier League title.
When City came to town, Liverpool was prepared to show they could beat the Citizens, and they did.
They scored twice inside the first 13 minutes as City struggled to create any chance inside a hostile Anfield atmosphere.
Sadio Mane tripled their lead after halftime, and there was almost no way back for Pep Guardiola's men in the game.
The visitors eventually pulled one back through Bernardo Silva. Still, it was nothing but a consolation as Liverpool continued their winning run and were crowned champions of England at the end of the season.
Head-to-head records
City has recently enjoyed a superior head-to-head record against Liverpool, and the Reds will want to change things in the next fixture.
Pep Guardiola's side won the last two meetings between these clubs and three of the previous eight Premier League games, losing two.
Liverpool has struggled on their recent visits to the Etihad as the Reds have failed to win any of the last six, losing four league matches.
No clean sheet has been kept when these teams meet since 2020, with both teams scoring at least twice in three of their last four meetings.
Conclusion
Liverpool and Manchester City remain the two best clubs in the Premier League, and their game after the international break is the best way to return from a boring two-week pause.
Fans will expect an exciting clash, and because they are so close to each other on the league table, we know both clubs will want to go all out and win this game.
