Premier League champions Man City take on Liverpool at the Etihad in a top-of-the-table clash on Saturday lunchtime with both managers insisting the outcome of the game will have no bearing on the destiny of this season’s title race.
City lead second-placed Liverpool by just a point as the two rivals prepare to once again go head to head, with boss Pep Guardiola claiming he has been surprised by his side’s impressive start to the campaign so far.
In fact, last season’s Treble winners will be looking to make it 24 home wins in a row in all competitions against Liverpool this weekend.
“Honestly, I could not expect to be in this position at the start of the season,” said Guardiola in Friday’s pre-match press conference.
“We have five teams so tight, but we are there. It’s an important game, but there’s more to come.”
