The anticipation is ramping up as Manchester City prepares to host Liverpool in an electrifying fixture that’s set to light up the Etihad Stadium this Sunday. Both teams have had their share of ups and downs this season, and the pressure is on.

Amid the tactical shaping and player fitness concerns, the anticipation builds as fans wonder if this will be a day for the ages in English football.

Football fever hits full throttle as fans look to get their viewing fix.
