Only one point separate the two teams ahead of the meeting, Arsenal currently topping the charts with 64 points.

According to Metro UK, the Etihad showdown will be played a few hours after Liverpool face Brighton in another EPL clash.

Given the significance of the City vs Arsenal cracker in the title race, a number of Liverpool fans will be keen to see how it ends.

Speaking on The Overlap with Manchester United legend Gary Neville, Carragher disclosed who he will be supporting at the Etihad.

Neville posed:

"Surely you want Arsenal to win on Sunday, from Liverpool’s perspective?"

Carragher opened up:

"Yes, but I think even if Man City lose that game on Sunday, they can still win the league. They can still win the league if they lose."
"For Liverpool, surely you want City to lose but I actually think they could still win the league after that," he added.

Clubs with the easiest EPL fixtures

Earlier, Sports Brief analysed the clubs with the easiest remaining fixtures as the title race hots up.

The 2023/2024 Premier League season is set to return this weekend after the international break for one last hurrah.

No positions are settled just yet despite Arsenal and Liverpool angling to break Manchester City's dominance at the top.

The relegation battle equally got interesting after Nottingham Forest were docked four points.
