Last season, Liverpool made the trip to the Etihad to face Manchester City in November with an ace up their sleeve.
Jurgen Klopp hadn't benefited from the luxury of having many options in attack during his time in charge of the Reds, but Diogo Jota had arrived during the previous summer and the Portuguese forward had settled in well.
To Pep Guardiola's surprise, Klopp changed his customary 4-3-3 formation for the contest. Instead, he opted for a very offensive 4-4-2 formation which appeared more like a 4-2-4 whenever Liverpool initiated an attack.
