Raheem Sterling shot to fame as a teenager in the 2013/14 season as a rollercoaster ride took Liverpool agonisingly close to ending their long wait to win a league title.
LONDON - Manchester City and Liverpool's ascension to the two top dogs in the Premier League has seen every meeting in recent seasons met with increasing animosity, ahead of Sunday's latest battle for supremacy.Sterling shot to fame as a teenager in the 2013/14 season as a rollercoaster ride took Liverpool agonisingly close to ending their long wait to win a league title.
Sterling has flourished under Pep Guardiola, becoming a vital part of City's two title-winning campaigns in the last two seasons, while Liverpool's wait for a league crown has now stretched to 30 years. Liverpool have still yet to finish above the English champions in Klopp's four seasons in charge, but the gap was down to a single point as City edged a titanic title race last season.And it is Liverpool who will start Sunday's top-of-the-table clash with an early six-point lead over City in the title race.
"All the credit is for him," said Guardiola after Sterling's recent Champions League hat-trick against Atalanta. "His physicality is incredible. He's strong the day after the game, he could play another game. He can play on both sides, is fast, defensively help us a lot, so is an extraordinary player."
Attack is likely to be the best form of defence for the visitors, but Sterling will also be forced to keep an eye on one of Liverpool's most potent attacking outlets in right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
