🔵Liverpool are looking to complete a Premier League double over Manchester City for just the third time, also doing so in 2005-06 and 2015-16.

🔵This is Liverpool’s first competitive match in July since 2010, when they won 2-0 at Rabotnicki in Europa League qualifying.
🔵With seven games remaining, Liverpool have won the title earlier than any other team in top-flight history.
