Liverpool can go nine points clear at the top of the table if they record a second win in their last 10 Premier League meetings with Manchester City on Sunday.
The reigning champions arrive at Anfield in danger of an almost unthinkable fifth successive home defeat, having been beaten 4-0 at home by Tottenham Hotspur on 23 November.
In stark contrast, new manager Arne Slot has guided Liverpool to 14 wins from their last 15 games in all competitions, including wins in each of their last six matches.
