From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Liverpool and Manchester City have dominated the domestic scene over the last couple of years.
Jurgen Klopp‘s side were Premier League runners-up last season, won the Champions League and reached the final the season before. Pep Guardiola‘s team completed an unprecedented league, League Cup and FA Cup treble last term and won the league with a record 100 points in 2017/18.
This season, they are once again the top two already – though it’s the Reds who go into this weekend’s crunch fixture with a six-point lead, and who are unbeaten so far this season.
The two squads are packed with talent, but if forced to decide on just 11 players to fill a team, who would get the nod between Liverpool and Man City’s stars?
We’ve selected our side, which you can see in the gallery below, choosing from only those who are fit and available for this weekend’s game, in a 4-3-3 which both teams usually play.
Check the above gallery to see our combined Liverpool-Man City XI.
