Klopp against Guardiola for the last time, at least in the Premier League, in the most awaited big championship match.
Liverpool have just recovered Salah from injury while Manchester City will be led by super goalscorer Haaland.
All in a few hours, Sunday.
First there is the direct challenge for fourth place between Aston Villa and Tottenham and then the championship match between Liverpool and Manchester United.
The third wheel, Arsenal, who have a favorable match against Brentford, can take advantage of this.
But the spotlight is on Anfield because a victory for the Reds could weigh on the title sprint.
Klopp, who will leave at the end of the season, hopes to get Salah back in shape after the long stoppage due to tendon problems.
Guardiola can count on the unleashed Haaland (29 goals in 32 games) and on a tested group that has re-embraced De Bruyne.
It will be the best offense against the best defense.
Guardiola has only lost against Arsenal this season and of the recent 17 matches he has won 16, the latest being the derby against United.
The match between Aston Villa and Tottenham, already trailing by 5 points, is also worth a lot: Emery's team (which uses Zaniolo little) can take flight towards the Champions League.
Chelsea-Newcastle is also interesting while De Zerbi's Brighton, after the resounding defeat against Roma, tries to regain morale by taking advantage of an easy round against Nottingham.
