Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has named the same starting lineup that beat Chelsea a week ago for Sunday afternoon's Premier League showdown away against title rivals Liverpool.
The Citizens head to Anfield after suffering a 2-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling both started in Paris, however they have been dropped to the bench with Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden coming back into the first XI.

The same back four of Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Aymeric Laporte and Joao Cancelo keep their places in defence, shielding Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson.
Rodri starts once again ahead of Fernandinho in the defensive midfield role and the Spaniard is joined in the middle of the pitch by Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.
Jesus, who scored against Chelsea last weekend, and Foden are joined in attack by summer signing Jack Grealish, with the likes of Ferran Torres, Mahrez and Sterling - who has scored in two of his last three Premier League matches against Liverpool - attacking options on the bench for Guardiola.
