Liver updates as we build up to the Premier League match at Anfield where the game may have an extra edge following the guilty verdict received by City

Hello and welcome to Mirror Football's live coverage of the Premier League game between Liverpool and Manchester City as domestic football makes its return this weekend.

The extended international break has been dominated by the news of the guilty verdict handed to Man City for 114 charges for breaches of Premier League financial rules. A Premier League statement confirmed that the panel had found City had used 'sham' sponsorship deals to inflate their revenue between 2009 and 2018.

City strongly deny the charges and have put in an appeal against the verdict. New regulations state that the hearing must be concluded within 12 weeks of the appeal being lodged.

If the verdict is upheld, then City could face a range of serious punishments, including points deductions, transfer bans, fines, or even expulsion from the Premier League. But while the wait goes on, so does the football.

City are in action for the first time since news of the verdict broke, as they travel to Anfield. It was a game that was already highly anticipated due to the recent history between the two clubs, but it should have even more of an edge now.

It's expected to be a red-hot atmosphere, with Liverpool fans expected to make their view on the situation clear before, during and after the match.
