Man City and Liverpool's Premier League greats ranked, featuring Salah and Sterling

Manchester City vs Liverpool could well decide the destination of the Premier League title.

The two English giants will lock horns at the Etihad Stadium this weekend in the umpteenth episode of the Pep Guardiola vs Jurgen Klopp saga that has engrossed fans for the last six years.

Victory for the Citizens could see them settle their nerves and win a fourth title in the past half-decade, while an upset victory for Liverpool might well fire them to just their second ever Premier League trophy.

All in all, it’s one of those rare matches across a 38-game season in England’s top-flight where it feels as though the previous seven months are distilled into just one cup final played over 90 minutes of high-octane action.

So, to whet the appetite of fans across the country and the world who are chewing their finger nails and buying popcorn in anticipation, we wanted to take a closer look at the two clubs going head-to-head.

Besides, regardless of the fact that they’re exchanging leather for the 2021/22 title this weekend, they also happen to be two of the biggest clubs to have ever called the Premier League their home.

Bearing that in mind, we’ve decided to rank and rate City and Liverpool’s greatest players of the modern era to see what the standard is for any current stars looking to solidify their names in their clubs’ history books.

From the 1990s magic of Robbie Fowler and Georgi Kinkladze to the 21st century brilliance of Yaya Toure and Steven Gerrard, many a player has shone in the Premier League wearing either sky blue or bright red attire.

However, to settle the greatest from the greats, we’ve turned to our trusty medium of Tiermaker to organise who we consider to be the 27 finest players across each of the clubs since
