Liverpool host Manchester City this afternoon in a huge Premier League title clash.
The Reds, who were once again impressive in beating Real Madrid on Wednesday night, opened up an eight-point gap on the champions after beating Southampton 3-2 in dramatic fashion last weekend.

As such, Arne Slot’s side could go 11 points clear of the champions, who are in an unusual state of crisis.
Thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham on Saturday, Pep Guardiola’s side then collapsed when leading by three goals to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
For the first time in his career, Guardiola is on a run of six games without a victory. Fragile defensively and lacking ideas in attack, the City boss has already conceded that losing at Anfield would spell an end to his side’s hopes for a fifth consecutive title.
With Liverpool in such strong form, the odds look stacked against the champions.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Liverpool vs Manchester City is scheduled for a 4pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday, December 1, 2024.
