Liverpool are on a three-game losing streak away from Anfield. The last time they lost four away league games in a row was in April 2012, when Kenny Dalglish was manager. In a league dominated by set pieces, City are the only team yet to score from one. All 20 of their goals have come from open play.

Pep Guardiola has said he does not expect any of the injured Manchester City players to return against Liverpool. City welcome the current Premier League champions to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday on the back of successive home wins over Bournemouth and Borussia Dortmund.
