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.

Our build up to Sunday's huge match with Manchester City continues apace on the Blood Red channel with the superb Allez Les Rouges podcast, hosted as always by Peter Hooton and featuring Ste Monaghan, who watches Liverpool home and away, and John Coleman, the Accrington Stanley manager. Before getting stuck into City, the trio look back on the last-gasp win at Aston Villa, why Andy Robertson's reaction after equalising spoke volumes, VAR and whether the lack of clean sheets is a concern. The Reds will be back at Villa Park next month for a Carabao Cup quarter-final tie that has been ridiculously scheduled just 24 hours before the FIFA World Club Cup opener in Qatar. So which competition should take preference? That is discussed before Peter, Ste and John focus on City and what a victory would mean for the Premier League title race. Enjoy.

Neil Fitzmaurice may be battling a severe case of man flu but that has not stopped him returning for his latest Poetry in Motion podcast, also featuring ECHO duo Caoimhe O'Neill and Paul Wheelock. After a quick look back on the Champions League win over Genk, and some of the talking points from it, the focus shifts to Sunday's massive match at home to Manchester City in the Premier League. Should Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain start against the defending champions? And why does Pep Guardiola talk about Jurgen Klopp's table-toppers so often? Last season's corresponding fixture ended in a 0-0 draw, a result which, on the surface, would suit the Reds this time around given their six-point buffer at the top. But two of our panellists are not so sure. And there's also time for Caoimhe, Paul and Fitzy to select their sides for Sunday. Enjoy!
