Preview

Last time in the Shield, City lost to the hosts team in Leicester City so this should be a good make up chance for City to win it.

In Liverpool we face a team with some upheaval after losing their best player, they could be vulnerable.

Pep vs Jurgen, a cracking match awaits the fans.

It should be a very interesting match.

For Man City, Aymeric Laporte is out and Ruben Dias is questionable.

Pool have Alisson, Kelleher, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jota and Tsimikas out.

Prediction

Manchester City 3-0 Liverpool
