How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV today

Liverpool face Manchester City today in a match that could potentially decide the Premier League title as the top two go head to head at the Etihad Stadium.

City were 14 points clear in January but Liverpool have won 10 games in a row to close the gap to the leaders to just one point ahead of this afternoon’s title showdown.

Both sides are chasing multiple honours this season which heightens the importance of today’s Premier League meeting, and were victorious this week in the Champions League.

City eventually overcame a stubborn Atletico Madrid side while Liverpool won 3-1 at Benfica ahead of the second legs on Wednesday, with these sides also meeting in the FA Cup semi-finals next Saturday.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of today’s match.

When is Manchester City vs Liverpool?

The match will kick off at 4:30pm BST on Sunday 10 April.

Team news

Manchester City have only one injury absence, although it is a key one in the shape of Ruben Dias. Kyle Walker, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish could come into the starting team from Tuesday’s win over Atletico Madrid.

Jurgen Klopp has said Liverpool have a fully-fit squad and expects everyone to be available for the trip to City. Fabinho has recovered from the cut to the head he suffered in the win against Benfica on Tuesday and is “fine”. Joel Matip could replace Ibrahima Konate from Tuesday’s team while Jordan Henderson will likely replace Naby Keita in midfield.

The form of Liverpool’s forwards poses Klopp a selection headache for his starting front three. Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane will surely start but Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino have all impressed in recent games.

Predicted line-ups

Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo; Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo; Grealish, Foden, Mahrez

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago; Salah, Mane, Diaz

Odds

Manchester City: Evens

Draw: 11/4

Liverpool: 5/2

Prediction

Manchester City have such a good record when scoring first and it feels like an opening goal for the hosts could be decisive, unlike when Liverpool took the lead twice at Anfield earlier this season. Kevin De Bruyne is the in-form City player but for Liverpool the return of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who missed the reverse fixture, could be key. We could be set for a thriller decided by attacking brilliance. Manchester City 2-2 Liverpool
