Last season, Liverpool defeated Manchester City in both legs (both 2-0) on the road to the Premier League title, and Pep Guardiola's team was soon excluded from the race. Before the rematch at Anfield this weekend, Man City aims to avenge by winning both legs against Liverpool.
The Citizens travel to Merseyside with the hope of chasing the top spot. The 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur last week - where they dropped the 2-0 lead - caused City to be 6 points behind Arsenal. And that gap was widened to 9 points when The Gunners defeated Sunderland in the early match.
In the opposite direction, Liverpool is experiencing a difficult season defending the throne. They are in sixth place, 17 points behind Arsenal, but at least managed to recover after a narrow defeat to Bournemouth with a 4-1 victory over Newcastle United.
Coincidentally, Man City also just overcame Newcastle - but in the Carabao Cup semi-finals - thereby scheduling an appointment with Arsenal at Wembley next month.
Liverpool has only lost 1 of their last 22 home matches in the Premier League against Man City. However, after a 3-0 victory at the Etihad in November last year, Man City is aiming for a double against Liverpool for the first time since the 1936-1937 season. This is also the last time they have defeated Liverpool in 2 consecutive matches in the national championship.
