> City's 100 per cent start meets a hostile Anfield, the first ground they visit since a commission found them guilty of financial breaches that the club is appealing.

**Liverpool vs Manchester City** kicks off at **8:30pm Pakistan time tonight, Sunday 11 October**, at Anfield (4:30pm in the UK), the match [Liverpool moved back a day](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/fixture-updates-new-dates-anfield-games-against-man-city-and-arsenal) for television. In the UK it is on Sky Sports.

## Where the two sides stand

**Manchester City lead the Premier League with a 100 per cent record** and are **six points ahead of Liverpool**, [Al Jazeera reported](https://www.aljazeera.com/sports/2026/10/11/manchester-city-financial-breach-liverpool-fans-anfield). A win at Anfield would stretch the gap to nine; a Liverpool win would cut it to three and end City's perfect start.

## Why the atmosphere is the story

City are the **first visitors to Anfield since an independent commission found them guilty of serious financial breaches**: more than 100 rules, with the commission ruling that "sham" deals had inflated revenue and cut costs by more than **£900 million between 2009 and 2018**. **City deny wrongdoing and have appealed**, so the ruling is not the last word.

Liverpool supporters are planning a loud welcome:

- The fan group **Spion Kop 1906** has asked supporters to bring flags and scarves and to be loud "from the first minute".
- A post on social media is promoting a **"bus greeting"** near the stadium several hours before kick-off.
- **Merseyside Police** say an appropriate policing operation will be in place.

The last big flashpoint was in **2018**, when City's team bus was hit by bottles and flares before a Champions League tie at Anfield; UEFA fined Liverpool **20,000 euros**. Gary Neville has predicted a "brutal day" for City, with banners and chanting.
