Liverpool host Manchester City in the blockbuster fixture of the Premier League weekend with events off the pitch equally as intriguing as the contest to take place on it.

The judgment found that City benefitted from more than £900m of disguised funding between 2009 and 2018 where they won three top-flight titles including one against Liverpool who finished second.
