Consecutive Liverpool wins have changed the mood around Anfield as the Reds head towards the final international break of the autumn, but Slot’s side face a daunting task before that pause in the club game. The Reds did earn a win in east Manchester last season thanks to a savvy tactical switch from Slot, who will this week provide the opposition in Pep Guardiola’s 1000th game as a head coach.

Like Liverpool, City earned an important midweek victory in the Champions League, and both teams head into Sunday’s encounter knowing they cannot afford to lose more ground on leaders Arsenal. Slot will likely discuss the title race, team and injury news, and give his perspective on City in Friday’s media briefing.
