Is Liverpool City biggest rivalry? I don't know but it's tough - Klopp

Trent Alexander-Arnold’s low finish ten minutes from time earned Liverpool a point against Manchester City as the Premier League‘s top two played out a 1-1 draw.

A relatively even contest never quite burst into life at the Etihad Stadium as two familiar foes kept each other largey in check.

Erling Haaland had put Manchester City into a first half lead, latching on to a through ball from Nathan Ake after an errant clearance from Alisson before firing into the bottom corner past the Brazilian goalkeeper.

It was the Norwegian’s 50th Premier League goal, the striker achieving the mark in his 48th game to comfortably break Andy Cole’s record.

And Haaland very nearly added a second a matter of moments before Alexander-Arnold equalised up the other end, Alisson’s block crucial and sparking the counter attack from which the right back neatly tucked home.

The draw ends a 23-match winning run at home for Manchester City, who could be overhauled at the top of the table if Arsenal beat Brentford later on Saturday.

The corner ends up in Alisson’s hands and then beyond the Liverpool goalkeeper’s line, but only thanks to a biff in the back from Manuel Akanji. This foul is rather clearer than the one that denied Ruben Dias a goal earlier - a quick consultation with VAR is required but the foul is upheld.

Wataru Endo heads behind. Corner.

Jeremy Doku takes a tumble after contact from Joel Matip, who wags a finger in vain as Chris Kavanagh goes to his pocket. A couple of studs to the ankle will do it, Joel - a clear free kick and another chance for Manchester City.

Liverpool use their final two changes: Harvey Elliott and Wataru Endo are introduced, with Darwin Nunez and Alexis Mac Allister withdrawn. Pep Guardiola is still yet to make an alteration with that under-strength bench showing.

Or not - Liverpool’s wall is appropiately formed and Julian Alvarez fails to get the right amplitude.

How can Manchester City respond? A free kick on the edge of the Liverpool area might offer an opportunity...

GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 LIVERPOOL (Trent Alexander-Arnold, 80 minutes)

Liverpool are level!

What a finish from Trent Alexander-Arnold! Just like that, the visitors venture out of their own territory with purpose, Alexander-Arnold taking up that slightly infield position as Cody Gakpo and co. threaten the right. A touch and a sharp shot evades the blocking legs to nestle in the net 26 seconds after Haaland was denied up the other end - precise and prompt from Liverpool!

Almost a second! Fabulous feet from Jeremy Doku as he steps around Joel Matip, and Erling Haaland so nearly turns home at the near post. Alisson and a defender combine to keep it out, somehow!

Liverpool aren’t offering a huge amount to encourage their travelling supporters. Manchester City are holding firm, keeping their visitors at arm’s length as they bid to hold on to this narrow lead.

Over the bar! Julian Alvarez’s free kick is nicely directed, and Erling Haaland rises with command - too much, it transpires, a healthy bounce off his blond bonce sending the ball flying over Alisson’s crossbar.
