Man City vs. Liverpool 2-1: Sane goal secures important win

In just under an hour, Man City will have the opportunity to close in on Liverpool, while also going past Tottenham in the standings. However, it won't be an easy task against a Liverpool side in fantastic form. In fact, the Reds are yet to lose a game in the league this season. 
 
Match Facts
