Liverpool will host Manchester City at Anfield in a high-profile Premier League clash on Sunday, October 11, with City's financial case adding to the pressure ahead of their return to action after the international break.
Manchester City will travel to Anfield for their first Premier League match since an independent commission found the club guilty of serious breaches of the league's financial rules.
City have appealed the findings and continue to deny wrongdoing, while the sanctions are yet to be decided.

The verdict has added another layer of tension to a fixture that has produced some memorable title battles in recent years. City, however, have made a strong start to the new season, winning all five of their opening league matches to sit at the top of the table.
Liverpool, meanwhile, will look to use home advantage to challenge the league leaders. The Reds won their last match before the international break, beating Bournemouth 1-0, while City defeated Sunderland 5-3.
With both teams returning from the international window, the contest at Anfield will be an important test of their early-season form.
