Manchester City will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce in the Premier League when they take a trip to Anfield to square off against Liverpool on Sunday.

The Citizens, whose last league defeat came in February when they were beaten 3-2 by Tottenham Hotspur on home turf, currently sit second in the Premier League standings with 23 points from nine matches, one point off first-placed Arsenal.
