Virgil van Dijk and Ruben Dias walk into our Liverpool vs Manchester City COMBINED XI, while in-form Mohamed Salah is a no-brainer... but in the battle of the Brazilians, who gets the nod in goal?

Manchester City broke an 18-year hoodoo last season with their first win at Anfield since 2003, as they thumped Liverpool 4-1.

The City-Liverpool rivalry has dominated English football over the past five years, intensifying as the two sides vied for the title over the past three and, although early in the season, this weekend's clash could prove to be an early decider.

But the Citizens need to repeat last season's dominant result in front of a full and raucous Anfield Kop this time round.
