Manchester City ended Liverpool's winning run in the Continental League Cup with a 2-0 victory at Prenton Park.
Liverpool took to the field on Wednesday night looking to continue their flawless form in the competition, with the Reds having already beaten Sunderland, Leicester and Blackburn Rovers in their cup run this season. Matt Beard's side needed a victory over Manchester City to top Group B and guarantee qualification for January's quarter-finals.
However, City - who started the evening three points behind Liverpool with a game in hand - travelled to Merseyside having won their last eight games in all competitions and hoping to get the better of the Reds for the second time this season after coming out on top in the sides' recent Women's Super League meeting.
