Egypt's Mo Salah headlines another Liverpool-Man City collision at Anfield, and the rivalry's greatest hits show why this fixture never disappoints.
Africa has a big stake in Sunday's showdown at Anfield. Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah leads the Liverpool attack against Manchester City, and the Reds' squad rotation could bring more African and diaspora talent into the picture. Kick-off is 16:30 BST.
Liverpool vs City has been the Premier League's defining rivalry for years. Two elite sides, two managers obsessed with detail, and a habit of settling title races by the thinnest margins. Fans will remember seasons when a single point separated champions from heartbreak, and Anfield nights where the tempo was so high it felt like a cup final.
Salah has been central to the story, and so has Sadio Mané, whose years in red made Senegal a huge part of Liverpool's rise. Their pace, movement and ruthlessness in front of goal helped turn these games into must-watch events for football fans across the continent, from Cairo to Dakar and Lagos to Nairobi.
That is why a look back at the best moments between these clubs lands so well this week. The drama, the goals and the sheer intensity are a reminder of what is at stake before the first whistle.
Expect the same on Sunday. Anfield will be loud, City will press for control, and Salah will be hunting another big-game moment. Africa will be watching, and so will the rest of the world.
