Liverpool prepare to entertain Manchester City at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Reds are clearly on top, having won 43 and lost only 14 of the 73 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Anfield was less than a year ago, in February 2004, the Reds carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premiership match.
