Manchester City return to action after the international break with what promises to be one of the best matches of this young Premier League season when they welcome Liverpool to the Etihad.

Liverpool had a great summer of signings and managed to keep their superstar Philippe Coutinho while adding talent and strength to the squad. New signing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be on the bench with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino ready to bring plenty of danger to the Blues’ defense.

City will be without their captain and best defender Vincent Kompany, and the in-form Raheem Sterling is also out. But there’s a lot of talent in this team to get a win, and we’ll probably watch a truly amazing game today. May the best win, and may City be the best.
