City visits Liverpool in first match since financial ruling
The Premier League leader travels to Anfield on Sunday unbeaten, with a ruling against it over financial rules that it has appealed.
The international break is over and the Premier League returns on Sunday, Oct. 11, with Liverpool against Manchester City at Anfield. It is City's first match since an independent commission found the club guilty of breaking the league's financial rules between 2009 and 2018, according to Sky Sports. The club appealed and says it is innocent.
Kickoff is at 16:30 in the United Kingdom, according to Sky Sports, which is 9:30 a.m. in Mexico City. NBC shows it at 11:30 Eastern.
The Manchester side has won five of five and leads the table. Liverpool, managed by Andoni Iraola according to Sky Sports, have not lost in the five matches he has taken charge of. Arsenal are three points behind City, according to NBC Sports.
On the case itself, theScore reports that the ruling cites more than 100 breaches. City deny it. None of the sources consulted says what penalty could apply while the appeal is pending, or the exact date of the ruling.
There is also no clarity on City's dugout: the sources contradict each other on who manages the club, so this article does not name anyone until that is clarified. Injuries for both teams are not confirmed either; lineups come out the day before.
