The Premier League have confirmed that a foul by Erling Haaland in the build-up to Phil Foden's second-half goal in their clash at Anfield was the reason why it was disallowed.
Referee appointed for Man City Premier League fixture vs Liverpool
13.10.2022 - 11:59 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Anthony Taylor will be the man in the middle when Manchester City face Liverpool on Sunday.
City have enjoyed a great start to their Premier League title defence but the fixture list has quite been kind to them so far, with neighbours Manchester United the only top-six side they have faced — a match they easily won 6-3. Great rivals Liverpool should theoretically offer stiffer competition, but they have had a difficult start to their own campaign.
Though Jurgen Klopp's side decimated Rangers 7-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday, they currently sit down in 10th in the Premier League, having won just two games and lost to Arsenal last weekend. The prospect of welcoming City and Erling Haaland to Anfield may well be a daunting one.

The refereeing team for the super Sunday clash, which will kick-off at 4:30pm, has been confirmed with experienced referee Taylor officiating proceedings. His assistants will be Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn while Andy Madley is the fourth official. Darren England will be manning VAR.
Liverpool go into the game severely depleted with seven key players ruled out through injury. Luis Diaz, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Curtis Jones and Arthur are all set to be unavailable. The Blues aren't without their own injury concerns, though, with Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips sidelined and John Stones and Manuel Akanji big doubts.
