Man City head to Anfield under cloud of financial rules verdict
Enzo Maresca's side will look to preserve their perfect record after winning all five league matches to start the campaign.
Manchester City head to Liverpool on Sunday for their first league game since being found guilty of over 100 financial rule breaches. The Premier League resumes with this high-profile fixture under a hostile atmosphere and an unprecedented cloud following City's guilty verdict in a landmark financial case. The club has appealed the decision, claiming the commission's opinion contains clear material errors and that they possess evidence supporting their position.
City, however, continue to focus on the football side, maintaining their perfect start to the campaign with five wins from their opening five matches. Liverpool, on the other hand, have had a less convincing start with two wins and three draws. Former Manchester United captain and England defender Gary Neville predicts a brutal day at Anfield, with banners and chanting from the home crowd.
The uncertainty surrounding the sanctions for City's breaches adds to the intrigue of the match, as both teams strive to turn their season around.
