MANCHESTER CITY welcome Liverpool for a blockbuster Super Sunday clash at the Etihad.
The Reds can extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to a whopping 11 points with victory this afternoon.
It comes after title rivals Arsenal fell to a 1-0 defeat to London rivals West Ham yesterday.
Liverpool will fancy their chances against a wounded City side after they were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid on Wednesday night.
Arne Slot’s men have been handed a welcome boost before the match with top scorer Erling Haaland not included in the City squad.
Erling Haaland limped off with a suspected knee issue during Man City’s 4-0 win over Newcastle on Saturday, February 15.
He was since an unused substitute for their Champions League knockout play-off second leg with Real Madrid on Wednesday night after being deemed unable to start the match.
It was reported Haaland would face a late fitness test ahead of the huge match with Liverpool today, which he clearly failed.
It’s the first time the Norweigan goal machine has not been named in the City squad for a Premier League match since April 2024, when he missed a 4-0 win over Brighton.
Omar Marmoush replaces Haaland up top this afternoon, looking to build on his stunning hat-trick against Newcastle in his last Prem outing.

Asensio completed the Villans’ comeback just a minute before full-time with a fine strike that the West Londoners’ goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen couldn’t hold on to.
All eyes were on the Paris Saint-Germain loanee passionately celebrating his finest performance since joining Unai Emery’s side last month.
However, the camera caught Konsa, 27, doing the most peculiar thing in the background.
The ecstatic centre-back appeared to be removing his boot and lobbing it up in the air as he celebrated Villa‘s incredible comeback.
Fans were left in stitches with that bonkers sight against Chelsea as they stormed social media.
One fan tweeted: “Has the boot landed yet?!”
Another commented: “On the roof of the North Stand.”
A third wrote: “Hilarious. Think that should be his celebration for every goal we score from now on.”
This fan said: “It landed back on Earth with snow on it apparently.”
And that one made a hilarious reference to The Office’s character Chris Finch: “I bet he couldn’t throw it over the pub… That’s the real celebration!”
Villa are now eighth in the Premier League table with two points separating them from fourth place.
