Guardiola's Lineup

Lineup of Liverpool

When the league calendar was released, this clash between the reigning English champions and Guardiola’s City looked set to be decisive in the title race. The current reality, however, paints a very different picture.

How Liverpool and Manchester City arrive at Anfield

Arne Slot’s Liverpool return to Merseyside in confident mood after a dominant 6-0 win over Qarabag in the Champions League and a 4-1 victory against Newcastle in the Premier League. The match offers a prime opportunity to confirm their resurgence and keep pushing toward European qualification spots, currently four points away.

Manchester City, by contrast, are struggling to reproduce the dominance of recent seasons. Amid speculation surrounding Guardiola’s future, City come into the match following a frustrating draw with Tottenham, a result that leaves them nearly ten points behind league leaders Arsenal.

Their situation has been further complicated by an unconvincing Champions League campaign, where they narrowly secured a place among the top eight.

Probable lineups for  Liverpool vs Manchester City

• Liverpool: Alisson Becker; Dominic Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil van Dijk, Milos Kerkez; Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch; Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah; Hugo Ekitike.
• Manchester City: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guéhi, Rúben Dias, Matheus Nunes; Rodri, Antoine Semenyo, Tijjani Reijnders; Bernardo Silva, Rayan Cherki; Erling Braut Haaland.
