Three goals scored would take their overall tally against City to 350 across all competitions, with four of those strikes coming last season as Liverpool completed a league double over the Etihad outfit for the first time since the 2015/16 season. Mo has the taste for it After goals against Aston Villa and Brentford last time out in the Premier League, Mohamed Salah will fancy his chances of adding to his tally of nine goals in 16 Premier League appearances against Man City.

The 33-year-old, who notched a goal and an assist in last season’s win at the Etihad, has scored in eight of Liverpool’s last nine victories against City. Time to improve record at the Etihad Since winning 4-1 at the Etihad in November 2015, Liverpool have won just one of their last nine visits to City.

Meanwhile, the last time the Premier League champions kept three clean sheets in a row came in March, in games against Man City, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain. Erling Haaland is City’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with 13 goals; the next highest is own goals (two).
