Liverpool hero John Aldridge believes the Anfield crowd will be too much for Manchester City today.
Aldridge wrote for the Sunday World: "On the eve of the biggest game of the Premier League season so far, Pep Guardiola served up the ultimate compliment to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.
"The Manchester City manager went on record a few years back to confess that the roar of the Anfield crowd sends a shiver of fear down his spine when he has been standing in the opposition dug-out and at his press conference one Friday, he has admitted he has changed his approach to the game because of Klopp and Liverpool.
"The 5-1 hammering dished out to City by Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League quarter-finals left a lasting scar on Pep and we saw the impact of that the next time he came to Anfield.
"The story set to will play out today will be very different, with The Kop back in full cry and burning with motivation to see Liverpool put Guardiola and his side in their place.
"While I'm normally cautious ahead of these big matches, I fancy Liverpool to beat City today and there are few reasons for my optimism.
"First of all, let me state my belief that these two teams are still the best in the Premier League and I expect one of them to be champions this season.
"They have quality performers in every position and proven track records for winning trophies, but the big factor in Liverpool's favour is their superior forward line."
