Manchester City are set to welcome rivals Liverpool on Sunday afternoon in a huge game at the top of the table. The reigning Premier League champions are looking to maintain their upturn in form after a brief domestic wobble in recent weeks. Arne Slot's side returned to regular business with wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid , and will seek the three points on their travels on Sunday like they claimed at the Etihad back in February with a 2-0 victory. Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola's City smashed Borussia Dortmund 4-1 in the Champions League in midweek and are looking to continue this dominance at home when the Reds come calling. While it's still early to be focusing too closely at the Premier League table, both sides could do without dropping more points in the developing title fight with leaders Arsenal . Bonfire night may be been and gone but there's set to be more fireworks this afternoon. Here, Mirror Football has all the details on how you can tune in and who may make the starting XI for each side. City will take on Liverpool on Sunday, November 9, with kick-off at 4:30pm. It headlines the day's action after four 2pm kick-offs - Aston Villa vs Bournemouth , Brentford vs Newcastle , Crystal Palace vs Brighton and Nottingham Forest vs Leeds. UK fans can tune into the live action from the Etihad on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. Subscribers who are on the go can stream the match live via Sky Go or NOW TV. City have a few players available for the Liverpool game after being rested for the Champions League win over Dortmund. Ruben Dias, Rayan Cherki and Bernardo Silva all came off the bench on Wednesday night and could feature in the starting line-up for Guardiola. Rodri remains a doubt after he missed last week's fixtures due to a minor setback in his injury. Speaking to TNT Sports before the European tie, Guardiola said: "He does not feel perfect so that is why he do not take the risk. "He will comeback, this is a little setback. He needs a bit more time to feel good and play football. It does not matter if he plays good or bad knowing that he is fine and will not be out for a while." Slot could soon welcome star signing Alexander Isak back into the fold after he missed the last four fixtures for the Reds due to a groin issue. The Swedish striker's inclusion in the latest national team squad is a good sign for Liverpool fans who have been awaiting his return. Jeremie Frimpong, Alisson Becker and Giovanni Leoni are all confirmed absentees for the Reds, but Ryan Gravenberch and Curtis Jones have returned from spells on the sidelines.
