The Premier League returns to Anfield with a blockbuster clash between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday afternoon

Manchester City will step into a cauldron of noise on Sunday as they face Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield. The two English giants will restart their domestic campaigns in different places, with City leading the charge at the top of the table.

Enzo Maresca's side have won all five league matches and will be looking to make it six on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Andoni Iraola's squad opened their Premier League campaign with two wins and three draws and now sit in sixth.

However, City's guilty verdict on 114 financial fair play breaches adds extra spice to this already fiery encounter.

A win at Anfield would put them three points behind the league leaders with more tough fixtures in the coming weeks to contend with. Luckily for the Reds, they will have over 60,000 fans belting out support from the Kop End to the Anfield Road stand.

Before the first whistle is blown, Reds fans tend to line the streets and create a raucous atmosphere to welcome - or rather, intimidate - the opposing side. Here, Mirror Football has detailed what the City squad has waiting for them on Sunday afternoon in a must-watch Premier League clash.
