Raheem Sterling returns to face Liverpool

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says today’s clash with Liverpool will be a special occasion for Raheem Sterling.

England forward Sterling is set to face the Reds for the first time since his acrimonious €69m move from Anfield to City in the summer.

But while former City player James Milner may receive a warm welcome as he returns to the Etihad Stadium with Liverpool, Sterling can expect a different reaction from the visiting fans.
