Liverpool vs Manchester City: Lineups

 

This Sunday, Liverpool will welcome the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City, to Anfield.

 

A victory for the Reds could see them extend their lead over their title rivals to 11 points.

 

Manchester City has struggled recently, losing five of their last six matches, including a notable collapse where they relinquished a three-goal advantage midweek.

 

In contrast, Liverpool is riding high after a 2-0 victory against European champions Real Madrid, showcasing the impressive start under their new manager, Arne Slot.

 

Under Slot’s guidance, Liverpool has only experienced two defeats this season, with their sole loss occurring at home against Nottingham Forest.

 

With a strong lead in the title race, a win on Sunday would further solidify their status as favorites for the championship.

 

Historically, encounters between Liverpool and Manchester City have been closely contested.

 

However, given City’s current poor form, the Reds are seen as the clear favorites this weekend.

 

The absence of key player Rodri has left Guardiola’s side looking vulnerable, as evidenced by their recent performance against Feyenoord in the Champions League, where they squandered a three-goal lead.

 

Predicted Liverpool lineup against Manchester City:

 

Liverpool’s expected formation (4-2-3-1): Kelleher; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Jones, Gakpo; Nunez.

 

During his pre-match press conference, Guardiola was non-committal regarding the fitness of several injured players, including John Stones, Mateo Kovacic, Oscar Bobb, and Rodri, all of whom are currently unavailable.

 

While Man City can never be discounted, especially with the likes of Haaland, Foden and De Bruyne, recent displays point to Liverpool claiming victory and a potentially unassailable 11-point lead at the weekend.

 

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Man City
