Manchester City have announced that Phil Foden has signed a three-year contract extension at the club - providing a huge morale boost ahead of Sunday's trip to Anfield.
The Stockport-born academy star has extended his stay at the Etihad until 2027 after penning an extra three years on his previous two-year deal. He will join his City teammates in a huge clash on Sunday, when Pep Guardiola's men come to Merseyside in a bid to pull 16 points clear of their main title rivals from the past five years.
Liverpool have endured their worst start to a league season for a decade, with just two wins and 10 points from their opening eight games. Despite a slow start domestically, however, Klopp's side go into Sunday on the back of a thumping 7-1 win at Rangers on Wednesday - their third consecutive Champions League win.
