How to watch Man City vs Liverpool: Live stream the Premier League online
Manchester City will give the new Premier League champions Liverpool a guard of honour when the teams walk out on Thursday
Man City host newly-crowned Premier League champions Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Thursday, 2 July. Kickoff is at 8:15pm and the game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports and Now TV Sky Sports Pass in the UK from 8pm. Both services have huge limited-time discounts that end soon.
It will be a bittersweet evening at the Etihad Stadium as back-to-back Premier League champions Manchester City surrender their title to Liverpool, who have been the more dominant team this season by far.
While Manchester City has won the Premier League four times in the last nine years, Liverpool’s victory has been 30 years in the making and their first in the Premier League era. Last year Liverpool came runners-up to Man City losing by a point in what was one of the closest-fought battles of the Premier League.
Even though there are seven games left to play in the season, Manchester City’s loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last week meant there’s now an unassailable 23-point gap between the first and second team in the Premier League table.
To his credit, City’s manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that his team will give Liverpool their due respect with a guard of honour when the teams head out at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday.
Liverpool are currently out of the Champions League whereas Manchester City have qualified for the FA Cup semi-finals next month and the Champions League quarter-finals, which resumes in August.
