Manchester City travel to Liverpool today in the headline fixture of the Premier League’s return following an extended three-week international break. City are expected to receive a hostile atmosphere this afternoon at Anfield in what is their first match since an independent commission found them guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the top-flight’s financial rules over a nine-season period between 2009/10 and 2018/19. City deny any wrongdoing and have launched an appeal, with serious sanctions likely if that fails.
