Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will tangle for the final time in the Premier League as Liverpool and Manchester City contest their latest seismic clash at Anfield.
Liverpool are a point ahead of champions City, with Arsenal having edged into the lead in this three-pronged title race after defeating Brentford 2-1 in their match on Saturday.
Darwin Nunez’s dramatic late winner at Nottingham Forest last weekend kept the Reds on top of the pile ahead of this weekend, while City’s Phil Foden-inspired 3-1 win over Manchester United in the derby extended their ongoing unbeaten Premier League run to 12 matches.
That streak is set to endure a severe examination at Anfield. Although City ran out 4-1 winners in this fixture in the behind-closed-doors 2020/21 season, they last won at Liverpool’s stadium with a crowd in attendance when Nicolas Anelka’s brace snatched a 2-1 in May 2003.

2 hr 40 mins before kickoff: So this is it, then. City and Liverpool could yet meet in the FA Cup this season, but that clash — whether in the semifinals or final — will be at Wembley. Barring an incredible change of heart at the end of the season from Jurgen Klopp, or an even more incredible appointment to another club, this will be the last Premier League meeting between the Liverpool manager and his great adversary Pep Guardiola. The joust might look lopsided in terms of Premier League titles, with Guardiola claiming five to Klopp’s one during their time in England, but these games have often been events in their own right.
City’s only win at Anfield under Guardiola — set against five defeats across all competitions — came in the behind-closed-doors season of 2020/21. For the last time City silenced a crowd on the red side of Stanley Park, you have to go back to a Nicolas Anelka brace in May 2003.
