Liverpool’s next opponents need little introduction. Manchester City were the team that pipped the Reds to the Premier League title last season and, in all likelihood, they are the team they will have to finish above this season if they are to end their 30-year wait for the Holy Grail. It's been a case of so far, so good for Jurgen Klopp’s side, and a 13th consecutive Premier League victory at Anfield on Sunday would open up a huge nine-point gap on second-placed City. Could Pep Guardiola’s team recover from that? Why does Pep seem so preoccupied by Liverpool? And can City cope without the injured Ederson? To answer those questions, and many more, Paul Wheelock speaks to Manchester City writer and blogger, and the creator of the Blue Moon Podcast, David Mooney.

The two most successful clubs in English football go head to head at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon with plenty more than just pride at stake.

Kick-off the build-up to Sunday's massive match at Old Trafford with the latest Poetry in Motion podcast, hosted as ever by Neil Fitzmaurice and featuring Theo Squires and Paul Wheelock. But before the panel get stuck into the Manchester United clash, they bask in Liverpool's perfect start to the Premier League season and wonder whether it has broken Manchester City. Fitzy also questions the defending champions' failure to replace their captain - with a player all too well known to Reds fans - before talk turns to struggling rivals United.
