Off-field drama dominates the column inches heading into a tantlising clash between Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Citizens play for the first time since they were found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges brought against them by the Premier League.
Impact, if any at all, on the playing side of things remains to be seen, but we do know that City were in excellent form prior the three-week international break.
Pep Guardiola's summer departure left many wondering what performance levels City would be able to churn out this season, however, new boss Enzo Maresca has taken to his task very well so far. It's five from five in the Premier League to go alongside wins in the UEFA Champions League and EFL Cup.
A trip to Anfield does represent their toughest challenge yet, but City are still 13/10 favourites to take all three points. Fans were given a late scare over the fitness of Erling Haaland after he was seen limping off for Norway in midweek but he is fit to play on Merseyside. He's 20/21 to score anytime, 15/4 to score first and 22/1 to net a hat-trick.
Liverpool, on the other hand, haven't been dealt a favourable in the injury department.
Alexander Isak will miss Sunday's game having just found his best form in a red shirt. Outside of the Swede, it's hard to see where the goals are going to come from; Bradley Barcola the shortest anytime goalscorer at 12/5, followed by the inexperienced Lewis Koumas at 10/3.
This is Andoni Iraola's first big test at Liverpool boss and his side are 19/10 to take an important three points.
