ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE : BIG FRIDAY SLASHES

Manchester City go to Anfield in rampant form, aiming to equal a top-flight record
Manchester City watched bitter rivals Manchester United equal a Premier League record with their astonishing 9-0 win over Southampton in midweek, but Pep Guardiola's men have the chance to take a slice of history as well this weekend.

City have enjoyed a remarkable run of wins in recent months and are closing in on a record, but they could not have picked a much trickier next destination as they go to Anfield on Sunday.

United will hope to put the pressure on the day before when they host Everton, against whom they enjoy a very one-sided record at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
