Why Liverpool pose the biggest problem to Manchester City - and the player now making the champions tick

We have a special Blood Red spin-off podcast for you to head into the weekend. Stuart Brennan is the long-term chief Manchester City writer for the Manchester Evening News. And host Paul Wheelock picked up the phone to Stuart to get the inside track on the visitors to Anfield on Sunday. City are the defending Premier League champions and currently top the table on goal difference from Liverpool. But they have failed to win any of their last 17 trips to the home of the Reds, a run which includes the memorable Premier League and Champions League matches between the modern-day rivals at Anfield last season. Those incredible 4-3 and 3-0 wins improved Jurgen Klopp’s record against Pep Guardiola’s teams even further. So why does the Klopp and Liverpool seem to have a hoodoo over Guardiola and City? Stuart tries to answer those questions, and also talks the player who is filling the void left by the injured Kevin De Bruyne, the return of Raheem Sterling, and the major selection headache facing Guardiola. You will then hear from our Liverpool FC correspondent James Pearce, who was speaking after attending Jurgen Klopp’s press conference. And this preview podcast rounds off with audio from Guardiola’s press conference, which also took place earlier today.
