After the game, USA Network also has Goal Zone, a total wrap-up for the day’s action in the Premier League. Expect a specific focus on Sunday’s action.

City and Liverpool

Recently, with last season in particular, Manchester City and Liverpool developed something of a rivalry. The two duked it out at the top of the league, met in the Champions League, played for a Community Shield, won FA Cups and League Cups. Over the past five years, Liverpool and City are by far the class of England.

Their two key signings in the offseason drew comparison. However, Erling Haaland is making minced meat of the Premier League, while Darwin Núñez continues to find his footing. Liverpool’s injuries are not going to make slowing down the Norwegian any easier.
