Man City face a trip to Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, 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 45 and win only 14 of the 75 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in February 2006, the Reds carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Premiership match.
