Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are proponents of crowdpleasing attacking

football which should make Saturday's Premier League clash between Manchester City and Liverpool an eye-catching affair.

However, both City's Guardiola and Klopp at Liverpool are under pressure this season to turn the attractive styles into silverware.

With both clubs on seven points and unbeaten after three matches they will hope their players haven't gone off the boil after being away on international duty.

Both trail Manchester United by two points with Jose Mourinho's side, yet to concede a goal this season, away to an unpredictable Stoke managed by former United star Mark Hughes.

For several players it will be a case of starting competitive life with their new club - the transfer window having closed during the international break - or for some a case of turning out after their team refused to sell them.

Philippe Coutinho could make his first appearance this season for Liverpool and interest will be focused on his mood after he failed to secure the move to Barcelona. Jurgen Klopp says that is all good with the 25-year-old Brazilian and he is not sulking, despite Liverpool rejecting several huge offers from Barcelona after he put in a transfer request. That bodes well for the German as he needs Coutinho fit and on top form if he is to have a chance of delivering their first Premier League title. He is most likely to start on the bench however.
