Manchester City's quest for a third consecutive Premier League title faces its toughest test yet as they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on November 10, 2019.
City's relentless pursuit of excellence under Pep Guardiola has kept Liverpool waiting for a title win, but the Reds have the chance to prove their mettle when they host the reigning champions.
Despite posting a record 97 points last season, Liverpool fell short by a solitary point as City backed up their 100-point campaign with 98 to retain the title.
However, Liverpool have been revitalized since Jurgen Klopp took charge four years ago, and they have not lost a home game in the Premier League since April 2017.
Guardiola acknowledged Liverpool's strength, saying, "Right now Liverpool are the strongest team in the world. Playing at Anfield, we know what it means for them and for all their rivals."
With City weakened at the back by an injury to goalkeeper Ederson, Liverpool have the perfect opportunity to press home their advantage and extend their lead.
