More than 30 players have played for both Northwest rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.
Manchester City and Liverpool started truly competing for the Premier League title in the 2013-14 season, when City pipped Liverpool to the crown by two points on the final day of the season.
Since then, they have built one of the most stunning modern-day rivalries in the Premier League.
A prime example of the extent of their rivalry is the 2018-19 season, when City won the league title by one point on the final day of the campaign by reaching 98 points, as compared to Liverpool's 97. The following season, Liverpool won the title by scoring 99 points, 18 points ahead of Pep Guardiola's men.
Throughout history, some incredible players have appeared for both clubs.
It's now time to find out who they were and what they achieved during their stint at either club.

One of the great strikers of Preston North End's "Invincibles" era between 1883 and 1892, Jimmy Ross scored 85 goals in 130 appearances for them in his 11-year stay at the club before moving to Liverpool in 1894 for a £75 fee.
At Liverpool, the striker scored 37 goals in 73 appearances over two seasons before moving to Burnley in 1896 and later at Manchester City in 1898, where he scored 21 goals in 67 appearances before ending his professional career after the 1900-01 season due to health issues. He passed away at the age of just 36 in 1902.
Ross won the Second Division title with both Liverpool and City.

English striker Tommy Johnson began his career with Manchester City in 1919, and in his 11-year stint with them, he scored 166 goals in 354 games.
Everton recognised his quality and signed him in 1930 for £6,000. He formed an incredible strike partnership with Dixie Dean as Everton won the Second Division Championship in Johnson's first full season at the club. Johnson also featured for the Everton team that won the 1933 FA Cup final against his former team Manchester City.
In March 1934, he moved to Liverpool and made 36 appearances in his two-year stint at the club, scoring eight goals.

The legend who led Manchester United as manager through their toughest as well as their most glorious phase, Matt Busby actually featured professionally as a player for both Manchester City and Liverpool.
Busby won an FA Cup title during his stint with City between 1928 and 1936, comprising of 204 appearances. He then joined Liverpool in 1936 and went on to make 115 appearances for them.
After his retirement, Liverpool actually offered him the job of an assistant coach at the club, but they were unwilling to give him the control over the first team which he wanted. As a result, he took the vacant manager's job at Manchester United instead and built the famous Busby Babes!
After the Munich disaster in 1958, which claimed the lives of eight of his players, Busby rebuilt United and won the European Cup a decade later. What a story!

Fowler graduated from Liverpool's academy in 1993 and went on to become one of the greatest strikers in the club's history.
The English striker scored 120 goals 236 appearances for the Reds before moving to Leeds United in 2001.
Two seasons later, Fowler joined Manchester City in January 2003. He made 80 appearances for City between 2003 and 2006 before returning to Liverpool for a solitary 2006-07 season, scoring eight goals in 30 appearances.
