And City head to Anfield in top form, having won 13 consecutive matches in all competitions - one short of the all-time record for a top-flight English side. Besides, they have won four of their last five league visits to reigning champions.
But Anfield remains a fortress for Citizens, winning just once in their last 29 league visits, in May 2003.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's midweek loss to Brighton and Hove Albion make things complicated things for Klopp. The Brighton match saw a second consecutive 1-0 home league defeat inflicted, after a loss to Burnley ended a 68-match unbeaten run at Anfield in the top flight.
Not since 1963 have Liverpool lost three straight home league matches, while they have never gone four without scoring - they also drew a blank in the draw with Manchester United before hosting Burnley.
In the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium, they played out a 1-1 draw with Gabriel Jesus canceling out Mohamed Salah's penalty in November.
