Liverpool will return to action following the international break with a home fixture against Manchester City.

It promises to be an exciting tussle against Mark Hughes' nouveau-riche side, who have not won at Anfield since 2003.

The Reds have collected three points in five of their last six meetings with City in front of the Kop, though the Citizens did claim a point in a 1-1 draw at Anfield in February.

The Blues have drawn each of their last five matches in the Barclays Premier League and were held to a 3-3 deadlock by Burnley at Eastlands last time out.
