Liverpool will be out to make amends for a disappointing 3-0 loss against West Brom last weekend, but they face a difficult task when Brendan Rodgers' side welcome current Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City to Anfield this Sunday.

City had a scare of their own last weekend against new boys Southampton, eventually coming out on top with a 3-2 victory, courtesy of a late Samir Nasri goal.

Roberto Mancini will be without his star striker Sergio Aguero who is struggling with a knee injury, although with Carlos Tevez and David Silva to fall back on, City will provide a real threat in front of goal.

The Reds will be boosted by key players Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Martin Skrtel coming into the squad fresh from being rested for Thursday's Europa League play-off win against Hearts.

The home side boast a good record against City in recent years, with two victories coming over Mancini's men in the League Cup last season. Liverpool are available at odds of 2.70* to claim all three points, while Liverpool to score the first goal can be backed at 2.25.

With the Reds eager to get a win in their first Anfield clash of the season, Luis Suarez at odds of 7.00 to bag the first goal of the match would see a strong return of £350 from a £50 bet.
