Sunday could well be a day of reckoning. While Liverpool clash head-on with City at Anfield, Chelseaโ€™s hopes of keeping pace with that pair in the title race will rest on their ability to dispose of struggling Swansea at the Liberty Stadium.

The opening clash of the day, just minutes away, undoubtedly commands the bulk of our attention. City will arrive at Anfield looking to halt a charge from Brendan Rodgersโ€™ side that has seen the Merseysider outfit win nine league matches on the spin. City turn up with Sergio Aguero fit but named only on the bench as Manuel Pellegrini keeps faith with Edin Dzeko and makes just one change โ€“ Gael Clichy returns as the rotation with Aleks Kolarov continues at left-back. Vincent Kompany is in the lineup despite a training ground injury on Saturday. Thereโ€™s no such issues for Liverpool โ€“ Rodgers puts out an unchanged side as Mamadou Sakho retains his start at the back, despite Dan Agger returning to fitness; the Dane is named amongst the subs.

Weโ€™ll bring you the teamsheet news from todayโ€™s game in South Wales via our Twitter feed, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking for some real-time reactions during totdayโ€™s vital encounters.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Too bad Sturridge wasn't involved. That would have rubbed salt in the wounds of those who did Studge -> Aguero this GW.

    On paper Liverpool long a stronger option for goals today while City look to have a real edge in the middle with Fernandinho and Yaya.
    Think Sterling could play a huge part in today's game with darting runs on and off the ball.
    Hopefully Liverpool get the win.

    Quite like that. Paves the way nicely for Aguero to come on and score the winner (after scoring the equaliser of course.)
