Liverpool vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest score, match stream, goal updates and fan reaction
Manchester City travel to Liverpool today in the headline fixture of the Premier League’s return following an extended three-week international break. City are expected to receive a hostile atmosphere this afternoon at Anfield in what is their first match since an independent commission found them guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the top-flight’s financial rules over a nine-season period between 2009/10 and 2018/19. City deny any wrongdoing and have launched an appeal, with serious sanctions likely if that fails.
Liverpool are among the clubs said to have reserved their right to seek compensation, having finished as runners-up to City once during the period in question and also lost to them in a cup final. Reds fans are unlikely to be shy in expressing their anger during what promises to be a highly-charged showdown on Merseyside, though their attempts to inflict a first defeat on City this season are weakened by injuries to Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.
Dominik Szoboszlai misses out for the home side, but Erling Haaland is fit to start for City after a knock. Follow Liverpool vs Man City live below!

Live updates
29 min: Lovely clipped pass from Dias into Fernandez, picking out the midfielder in the box but the offside flag is raised before the attack can play out.
26 min: Nunes is having a good game against Barcola so far, stands up the Liverpool winger and nicks the ball away before Guehi wins a foul off Koumas.
24 min: Munoz proving to be a handful for O’Reilly and that Man City backline, turns what looked to be a lost cause into winning possession back for Liverpool. Full of energy.
22 min: Very nearly an opportunity for Liverpool as Kerkez’s cross creates confusion between Donnarumma and Guehi, but Barcola is unable to get to the ball first.
20 min: Good play all round. Firstly Barcola and Kerkez combine down the left but before he can get onto the return, Nunes gets a foot on the ball to concede a corner.
18 min: City are working their way into the game as Cherki strides forward and looks to swap passes with Enzo but Jacquet is well-positioned to concede a corner which ultimately comes to nothing.
15 min: Man City with space to attack for the first time this afternoon as Semenyo skips past Araujo but his cross misses everyone in the box and Kerkez makes the clearance.
14 min: Ryan Gravenberch earning Patrick Vieira comparisons by Jamie Carragher on commentary. The Liverpool midfielder has started the game very well and that is some praise.
12 min: Koumas is wrestled to the ground by Dias and after that there’s a coming together between both sets of players, certainly instigated by Mac Allister.
