What can Man City expect against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday? | Football | Al Jazeera

Liverpool supporters have planned a hostile welcome for Manchester City at Anfield on October 11, 2026, with flares, pyrotechnics, banners, and chants. The match takes place amid City’s conviction for over 100 financial rule breaches, including sham deals to inflate revenue from 2009 to 2018, which the club denies and has appealed. Tensions are high as Liverpool seeks to challenge City’s dominance in the league, and the hostile atmosphere is fueled by the recent sanctions and resentment. The game is significant as City faces potential repercussions from the financial misconduct ruling that could impact the future of English football.
