Why 3-5-2 could hold key for Pep Guardiola's sidepublished at 15:01 Greenwich Mean Time 10 November 2019
Liverpool v Man City (16:30 GMT)
People are asking: 'How do you beat this Liverpool team?.
Former Liverpool defender Stephen Warnock explains how Jürgen Klopp's side have had big problems when they have come against teams using a 3-5-2 formation.
Using a 3-5-2 formation against Liverpool's 4-3-3 shape allows your two centre-forwards to run in behind, either on the left of the Reds' defence in the channel between Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson, or on the other side, in the area around Van Dijk's centre-back partner and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
That stops Liverpool's full-backs from advancing and closing down their opposing wing-back.
So far, Klopp has always found a way, but he has not taken on a team as good as City so far this season.
