Liverpool and Manchester City have formed the top two in three of the past four seasons, but the 13 points that separate them now shows how badly off the pace the Reds have been this term. However, they come into today's clash off the back of one of their most convincing displays of the campaign, and City one of their least - albeit with Erling Haaland kicking back on the bench. These two tend to inspire the best in each other, so read on to find out how to watch a Liverpool vs Man City live stream from wherever you are.

With Trent Alexander-Arnold only fit enough for a seat in the dugout, former City man James Milner starts at right-back, while Andy Robertson returns to the first team at left-back. Roberto Firmino is the centerpiece of Liverpool's front three, flanked by Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota. Darwin Nunez is on the bench.

Haaland is joined by Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden in Man City's three-pronged attack, with Kevin de Bruyne pulling the strings behind them and İlkay Gündoğan and Rodri providing the muscle in midfield. With Kyle Walker out of action, Pep Guardiola has opted to shift João Cancelo to the right, as Nathan Aké starts as a makeshift left-back.

Salah, Firmino and Nunez are all back amongst the goals, and Salah in particular has been a real thorn in City's side over the course of this rivalry. But the Reds have had false dawns before, most notably the Community Shield thriller that ended with Haaland being dubbed a flop by the British press, and Liverpool being hailed as title favorites. What a difference a couple of months make.

The personnel may be slightly different but those Liverpool full-backs are still a major issue, and with Cancelo, Foden and Silva roaming the flanks, they could be in for a long afternoon.

There aren't many playmakers better at exposing defensive frailties than de Bruyne, while Virgil van Dijk, who's been accused of complacency in some quarters, will have to be at his very best to slow down Haaland, plunderer of 20 goals already this season.

Let's not forget that Liverpool were 14 points behind City in January, and came within a whisker of snatching the title. Is today the day their season explodes into life? Follow our guide to get Liverpool vs Man City live stream and watch the Premier League online from anywhere.
