This Sunday's top-four tussle pits together Manchester City's and Liverpool's number sevens.
Both are playing against their former clubs and both have scored six Premier League goals this season.
But will Raheem Sterling or James Milner come out on top at the Etihad? We take a look at the stats to find out...
Despite Milner playing left back this season, he can match or better Sterling in some of the attacking stats - although all six goals have come from the penalty spot.
Milner - who has found the net with all 11 of his penalties taken for the Reds - last scored from open play in Liverpool's 3-0 Premier League home win against his former club City in March 2016.
Milner has scored for both sides in this fixture and has another impressive stat to his name: he has scored in 46 Premier League games and has never been on the losing side on those occasions. This is a joint Premier League record along with Darius Vassell.
Milner has now scored over five Premier League goals in each of the last three Premier League seasons. If he scores on Sunday he would equal his best Premier League season haul of seven, set with Aston Villa in 2009/10. This would also be his 50th career league goal.
However, he hasn't scored since converting a penalty in the 1-1 draw with Manchester United on January 15.
It's also Milner's diligent defending that has helped maintain Liverpool's nine match unbeaten run against fellow top six sides this season. Only Jordan Henderson has put in more tackles and interceptions for Liverpool in 2016/17.
Sterling, who has lost all of his three Premier League games against his former club Liverpool since moving to Manchester City for £49m in July 2015, has already played more minutes this season (1982) than in all of last season (1928).
This season has been Sterling's second best in terms of minutes per goal involvement. He only bettered his current 180 minutes-per-goal involvement rate in 2013/14 when Liverpool finished Premier League runners-up and he scored nine goals, while assisting five others.
He has been particularly impressive recently, being involved in eight goals in his last nine appearances in all competitions for City (three goals and five assists).
Sterling has nine goals and 14 assists in all comps this season, only Christian Eriksen has more assists in all comps this season. Sterling's 14 assists is his best return in a season, beating nine in 2014/15. He's also just two goals away from equalling his best scoring season of 11 set in each of the previous two seasons.
Sterling's 14 assists this season is almost as many as his 17 assists he had in three years at Liverpool. In total he has 20 goals & 22 assists in 83 appearances for Man City compared to 23 goals and 17 assists in 129 apps at Liverpool.
One aspect that Sterling would like to improve on this season would be his stats in games against top-six sides.
Milner will be looking to help maintain Liverpool's unbeaten record against fellow top six sides this season, whilst Sterling will be looking for his first league points against his former club. It should be an intriguing battle.
