History of the Liverpool v Manchester City fixture

Man City face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 44 and win only 14 of the 74 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2004, the Reds carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Premiership match.
