📊EOTK Stats Pack: Man City v Liverpool - Form guide, the Reds vs previous EPL champions and MORE

We analyse some of the key stats and info ahead of the top-of-the-table Premier League clash between Manchester City and Liverpool!

The Premier League resumes this weekend following the third international break of the season, and what a way for it to swing back into action!

Manchester City and Liverpool - currently first and second in the table - have shared the last six titles between them, and both are preparing to write the latest chapter in a gripping rivalry between two of the most respected managers in world football.

Both teams have had to contend with injury worries coming into the fixture, but while some key players will be missing (such as Kevin De Bruyne, Andy Robertson and Thiago Alcantara), both sides will have largely fully-fit squads at their disposal.

The decision to bring the game forward to a Saturday 12:30 kick-off has met with plenty of criticism, although that window offers a chance for either side to make a serious statement of intent in the title race and lay down the gauntlet to the rest of the chasing pack prior to their weekend matches.

It’s a fixture which begins a hectic period in the run-up to Christmas for both City and Liverpool, as we’ve detailed previously, and it therefore carries the potential for massive momentum to be generated between now and the end of 2023.

Ahead of the clash at the Etihad Stadium, let’s take a look at the form guide for both teams, as well as their head-to-head Premier League record, and explore Liverpool’s fortunes away to previous champions of the division.
