Manchester City are sweating on the fitness of Erling Haaland, who faces a late fitness test after aggravating a foot injury while on international duty with Norway. The participation of Ederson, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez and Mateo Kovacic is also in doubt. Kevin De Bruyne, John Stones and Matheus Nunes are all absent through injury.

Liverpool have injury concerns of their own, with Thiago Alcantara, Andy Robertson and Stefan Bajcetic all sidelined, while Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomez and Curtis Jones are all due to have assorted knocks and niggles assessed ahead of kick-off.

With the latest international break receding in the rear-view mirror, the Premier League resumes with what could be the mother of all ding-dongs at the Etihad Stadium. In the corresponding fixture last April, Liverpool’s midfield and defensive shortcomings were horribly exposed, prompting something of a summer rebuild by Jurgen Klopp. In second place in the table, his team look much improved in the current campaign but face a serious test of their new found mettle this afternoon.

Manchester City, the reigning champions, go into this game on the back of that chaotic 4-4 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, while their visitors beat Brentford at Anfield in a game that was a tougher assignment for Liverpool than the 3-0 scoreline suggests.

Key events

Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool

GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 Liverpool (Dias 67)

City double their lead from the set-piece but there’s a VAR check for a foul on Alisson. The goal is disallowed.

67 min: Doku is released into space again and gets the better of Joel Matip. His final ball into the penalty area is found wanting again and Liverpool hack clear for a corner.

67 min: A Rodri piledriver from outside the penalty area strikes Ryan Gravenberch on the backside and City’s players appeal en masse for handball and a penalty. They are forced to make do with a corner, from which nothing comes.

63 min: Jeremy Doku gets on the ball again after Nathan Ake intercepts a Ryan Gravenberch pass towards Diaz. He plays the ball wide to Alvarez but fails to make the run to the far post to meet the ensuing cross. Goal kick for Liverpool.

61 min: Ruben Dias comes perilously close to poking a Szoboszlai cross from the right past his own goalkeeper and into the back of the net while trying to prevent the delivery reaching Luis Diaz. He gets away with conceding a corner instead and City clear their lines.

59 min: In the City penalty area, Nathan Ake slides in to take the ball off Darwin Nunez’s toe. The ball goes out off the Liverpool player but his side are incorrectly awarded a corner. Nothing comes of it and a potential controversy is mercifully avoided.

57 min: City attack on the break again as Foden sends Doku on his way from a Liverpool corner. The winger’s first touch is a poor one and a back-pedalling Alexis Mac Allister is on hand to snuff out the danger.

56 min: City get the ball launched into the Liverpool penalty area and a poor headed clearance from Trent Alexander-Arnold sets up a half-chance for Haaland. His shot on the turn from 18 yards sails over the bar.

55 min: Jurgen Klopp rings the changes as Luis Diaz and Ryan Gravenberch come on for Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota.

52 min: In acres of space on the left, Doku receives a crossfield pass from Alvarez and gives Alexis Mac Allister the slip. He checks his run and tees up the Argentinian on the edge of the penalty area. Alvarez shoots high over the bar.

52 min: Liverpool are dominating the early stages of this second half and win themselves a corner. Kostas Tsimikas sends the ball into the penalty area, where Ederson plucks it from the air and tries to send Phil Foden upfield on a counter-attack.

50 min: Mo Salah cuts in from the right towards the byline, getting the better of Nathan Ake. Akanji is quick to get over and give his teammate a dig-out, shepherding the ball out of play as he gets between it and the Egyptian.

49 min: On the touchline, Jurgen Klopp is ranting and raving at his players, urging them forward and instructing them to play with a little more urgency.

48 min: Manuel Akanji is forced to hoof the ball out of play for a throw-in after good work down the right by Trent Alexander-Arnold.

47 min: It’s an extremely low key start to the second half in a ground where the atmosphere seems curiously muted considering City are on top. We can probably put that down to the early kick-off.

46 min: City are looking for their 24th consecutive home win and will equal a record held for well over a century by Sunderland if they take all three points today.

Second half: Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool

46 min: Liverpool get the second half under way and will feel reasonably confident that they can turn things around. There are no changes in personnel on either side.

Erling Haaland: The Norwegian required just 48 games to score his 50th Premier League goal. Andy Cole, next on the list of quickest half-centuries, took 65 games. In mitigation, Cole will no doubt point out that he didn’t take penalties.

Half-time: Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool

45+1 min: With a low Szoboszlai shot heading wide, Ederson inexplicably tries to “save” the ball and palms it into a danger area just outside his own six-yard box. Kyle Walker scrambles it cleasr before anyone in a red shirt can react. It’s half-time.

43 min: Phil Foden brings a smart save out of Alisson who dives to his left to palm the ball around the upright after the City winger had cut inside from the right and unleashed a low, fizzing drive. It was heading for the bottom corner.

41 min: A rogue pass from Kyle Walker drops at the feet of Alexis Mac Allister. He plays it forward to Szoboszlai, whose shot is blocked. Manchester City advance upfield on the break with Doku on the ball and Haaland and Alvarez either side of him. He plays the ball left to Alvarez, who tries to pick out Haaland at the far post. His cross sails wide and a great opportunity for City to double their lead goes to waste.

39 min: Looking back at the goal, it seems Van Dijk and Matip could have done more to stop Haaland as he ran on to Nathan Ake’s pass. Each seemed to leave him for the other to stop and the City striker made the most of their indecision.

37 min: Doku picks up a wonderful pass upfield from Bernardo Silva and puts Trent Alexander-Arnold on the back foot again. He cuts inside the defender again but is unable to pick out the killer pass.

35 min: Darwin Nunez shoots wide from a very tight angle after good work by Szoboszlai, who had pounced on a loose pass from Manuel Akanji and scurried upfield.

33 min: Doku surrenders posserssion to Trent Alexander-Arnold, who picks out Darwin Nunez with an inch-perfect 30-yard pass upfield. City’s players appeal for handball but referee Simon Hooper doesn’t blow his whistle. Nunez advances upfield and plays the ball wide to Salah when he should have tried a shot himself. Salah runs into traffic and City clear up at the back.

31 min: Bernardo Silva plays the ball up the left flank, picking out Doku. He cuts inside Alexander-Arnold but his cross is blocked and put out for a corner by Joel Matip. Nothing comes of the set-piece.

30 min: For the record, that was Erling Haaland’s 50th Premier League goal. He’s banging them in at a rate of more than one a game.

28 min: Attempting to send his side upfield on the counter-attack, Alisson kicked the ball straight to Nathan Ake. The City defender slipped Haaland in behind with a pass between two defenders and a sublime first touch enabled the big Norwegian to get the ball out from under his feet and fire past Alisson. The goalkeeper got something on the ball but was unable to keep it out of the bottom corner.
