Manchester City return to action for the first time since being found guilty of financial rule-breaking this weekend with the first of two huge matches in the space of three days.
City dominated the headlines over the international break after being deemed to have breached a host of Premier League financial rules between 2009 and 2018, a verdict they have appealed against .
The spotlight will remain on City for the foreseeable future, but on-field action will take precedence over the coming days with two titanic fixtures to satiate fans who have been starved of club football for three long weeks. First up is a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool on Sunday , before Enzo Maresca ’s men play host to two-time European champions Paris St Germain in the Champions League next Wednesday .
Both City and Liverpool are still unbeaten in the Premier League under their new managers and we think it will remain that way, with our prediction being a draw @ 13/5 .

Form Guides
Liverpool form guide
Liverpool lost all three meetings to City last season, going down by a combined 9-1 scoreline in what was a miserable final campaign under Arne Slot , but they have yet to taste defeat under the Dutchman’s successor Andoni Iraola .
There have been teething problems and the Reds could easily have started the season with back-to-back defeats to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest .
But late equalisers salvaged 2-2 draws in those matches and Iraola's side have won four of five games since then, including a 2-1 Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid .
Dominik Szoboszlai scored the opener in that match and, with three goals in seven appearances this season, the versatile Hungary ace has again shown his vital importance to the Reds .
Szoboszlai had an eventful match in last season’s corresponding fixture with City , putting Liverpool ahead before being sent off late on in a 2-1 loss, and we think he could make another big impact on Sunday .
He is 7/2 to score at any time and his ability to pop up with goals from midfield could be even more crucial with injury doubts surrounding the likes of Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and long-term absentee Hugo Ekitike .
Manchester City form guide
City bounced back from their 3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield by reeling off seven successive wins in what has been a largely ideal start to life under Maresca .
However, off-field issues have now left dark clouds hanging over the club, and fitness concerns regarding Erling Haaland have only added to gloom.
Haaland limped off during Norway’s 2-1 defeat to Portugal last weekend and City will be praying it is nothing serious as they prepare to face Liverpool and PSG in quick succession.
The 26-year-old has scored seven goals in his last five games for City , and netted five times against Liverpool last season and, if fit, he could be a good selection to open the scoring at Anfield @ 4/1 .
City ’s last match before the international break was a wild 5-3 win over Sunderland and although we’re not expecting something similar on Merseyside , there has only been one goalless draw between these two northern powerhouses in the last 16 years.
Therefore, you may want to consider going for a 1-1 (@ 13/2) or 2-2 (@ 10/1) draw this weekend.
