EPL: Man City brace for hostile Liverpool crowd after guilty verdict

Manchester City face a challenging match against Liverpool at Anfield, their first game since being found guilty of breaking over 100 financial rules. According to Daily Post Nigeria, both teams enter the encounter unbeaten in the league so far. Manchester City have won all five games, while Liverpool have picked up nine points.

The match may be a grudge match, as Manchester City denied Liverpool at least two titles during Jurgen Klopp's reign, and Liverpool are now in danger of falling behind in the title race under Andoni Iraola. Daily Post Nigeria reports that Iraola faces injury doubts surrounding Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.

Manchester City aim to maintain their grip on first place, while Liverpool seek to make an impact amid off-field noise surrounding Manchester City's financial breaches. The fixture at Anfield is expected to be closely watched.
