Liverpool vs Man City

An intense match is on the horizon as Liverpool, currently at the top of the Premier League, prepares to take on defending champions Manchester City, who are in second place, this Sunday.

Liverpool heads into the match fresh off a tough 3-2 win against Southampton in the league, and a strong 2-0 victory over European champions Real Madrid in the Champions League. This brings their winning run in all competitions to six consecutive matches.

On the other hand, Manchester City is going through their toughest stretch since Pep Guardiola became their manager in 2016. They experienced a significant setback with a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham in their most recent Premier League match and let a three-goal advantage slip away, ending in a 3-3 draw against Feyenoord in the Champions League.

The Sporting News provides an overview of important information before the game, such as where to watch it, start times, and updates on the team lineups.

Liverpool Vs Man City: Lineups & Team News

Goalkeeper Alisson and forward Diogo Jota are both getting closer to recovering from their thigh and abdominal injuries, but Slot has made it clear that it’s unlikely either of them will be available for the vital Premier League match against City.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has resumed training and, after missing the victory against Madrid, he may make a comeback to the starting team, especially since the impressive Conor Bradley seemed to experience a muscle problem as the match was winding down.

Another key worry for the Reds revolves around Ibrahima Konate, who appeared to injure himself in the final moments of the game while stopping Endrick from getting a clear shot on goal. The central defender will undergo examinations to assess the issue.

Federico Chiesa is currently only taking part in limited training sessions as he works towards his recovery. This will be just his fourth game for the club since joining from Juventus last summer, so he won’t be available to play this weekend.

Slot will be without Konstantinos Tsimikas, as the left-back injured his ankle during practice. This means that one of the team's standout players in recent matches will not be available for two important games this week.

Expected lineup for Liverpool (4-3-3, from right to left): Kelleher (goalkeeper) — Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson — Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Nunez, Diaz.

Injuries: Alisson (thigh), Jota (stomach), Chiesa (unknown issue), Tsimikas (ankle), Konate (unknown issue), Bradley (muscle) Suspensions: None

One major factor contributing to City's recent difficulties has been the numerous injuries they've faced. At the forefront is Rodri, the Ballon d'Or winner, who is unlikely to play again this season.

Mateo Kovacic will be unavailable until Christmas or possibly a bit earlier due to an injury sustained during international play, which eliminates the team's top alternative for the Spanish player. Additionally, Oscar Bobb is facing a leg fracture that will postpone the beginning of his season until the new year.

Defender John Stones will be sidelined for an unknown period due to a foot injury. On the bright side, Jeremy Doku's issue with his quadriceps might get better in time for him to play at Anfield. Additionally, Ruben Dias could also make his comeback from a calf injury that has prevented him from participating in City's recent poor performances.

When asked on Friday about updates on Doku, Dias, and any other recent injury concerns, Guardiola responded with a straightforward: "we'll see."

Expected starting formation for Man City (4-3-3, from right to left): Ederson (goalkeeper) — Walker, Dias, Akanji, Ake — De Bruyne, Gundogan, Silva — Foden, Haaland, Grealish.

Injuries: Rodri (knee), Kovacic (thigh), Stones (foot) Suspensions: None

Liverpool Vs. Man City: Match Prediction

Recently, the matches between these two teams have been quite balanced, with five out of their last nine encounters ending in a draw. Nevertheless, Manchester City holds a slight advantage, having secured three wins while Liverpool has managed only one in that time.

Guardiola's team appears to be a shadow of its old self this season, whereas Liverpool has found new energy under Slot. Manchester City will aim to prove a point in this match, but Liverpool is likely to overcome them and come out on top.
