Man City v Liverpool - rate the players

It might not be the big title-deciding clash we were hoping for when the Premier League fixtures for this season were first released, but Manchester City v Liverpool should still provide plenty of entertainment.

It is, of course, an encounter between the recently-deposed and newly-anointed top-flight champions, with the Reds having sealed their first title in 30 years last week.

In acknowledgement of the size of the game and the talent involved, we're giving you the chance to rate the players.

You can do so using our Player Rater below.

Be sure to check back 30 minutes after full-time to see the final ratings.
