Liverpool’s next opponents need little introduction. Manchester City were the team that pipped the Reds to the Premier League title last season and, in all likelihood, they are the team they will have to finish above this season if they are to end their 30-year wait for the Holy Grail. It's been a case of so far, so good for Jurgen Klopp’s side, and a 13th consecutive Premier League victory at Anfield on Sunday would open up a huge nine-point gap on second-placed City. Could Pep Guardiola’s team recover from that? Why does Pep seem so preoccupied by Liverpool? And can City cope without the injured Ederson? To answer those questions, and many more, Paul Wheelock speaks to Manchester City writer and blogger, and the creator of the Blue Moon Podcast, David Mooney.
