WATCH Manchester City vs Liverpool Live Stream
Manchester City will host Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend, looking to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Liverpool are just one point adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City in second place, and they will look to climb to the top of the table with the win away from home. Both teams are capable of grinding out a result here, and this is likely to be a fierce contest.
Liverpool have done well against Manchester City recently and are unbeaten in four of their last six meetings against the defending champions. This is likely to be an evenly-matched contest on current form, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
The Premier League champions will be without the services of Kevin De Bruyne, who is sidelined until the end of the year with a thigh injury. Mateo Kovacic will miss out with a thigh injury as well, and he is expected to return to action early next month. John Stones and Matheus Nunes remain long-term absentees.
Manchester City will likely shape up in their usual 3-4-2-1 formation, with Ederson Moraes, who missed Brazil’s international games due to a foot injury, in goal. Kyle Walker will start in the back three alongside Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.
Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku will be deployed as makeshift wing-backs, and the two players will look to create attacking opportunities going forward. Rodri should start in the centre of the midfield and he will look to protect the central defence. Manuel Akanji will add more defensive steel and protection for the central defenders alongside him.
Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva will be starting as the attacking midfielders here, and the two players are likely to drift into the wide areas from time to time. Finally, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Manchester City against Liverpool.
