Manchester City vs Liverpool team news

Julian Alvarez will miss out for City following his role in the World Cup final, with Ibrahima Konate likewise absent for Liverpool.
Depending on which of his players who featured in Qatar return in time, Pep Guardiola has a fully-fit squad to pick from.
Liverpool continue to be without Arthur Melo (thigh), Luis Diaz (knee) and Diogo Jota (calf).
Man City are likely to have midfielders Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan all available after their early World Cup exits.
Erling Haaland should lead the line and could be even more dangerous after a month off.
Julian Alvarez is unlikely to feature following his involvement in Argentina’s win over France in the World Cup final on Sunday.
Liverpool will remain without Luis Diaz for another three months after he was forced to have surgery.
However, they are expected to have many key players back in action for the game with only Ibrahima Konate still in action in Qatar.
| Man City vs Liverpool: What has been said? After the draw was made over a month ago, Liverpool boss Klopp addressed what kind of team he could pick with the game being straight after the World Cup. He said: “The thing is that we have a pre-season [training camp] before that game, so the players will be involved, definitely involved, hopefully, fit enough and stuff like this, and have a pre-season. I think that’s similar with City. “City has definitely more players at the World Cup than we have. So, we have to see who is available. That’s always, by the way, the case: players’ availability and these kind of things. “We will come back from our training camp [and] I will make the decision then around the game.” |
