This Liverpool vs. Manchester City clash won’t have the feel of the title-deciding showdowns of recent seasons, but the stakes are still high: Man City are in the hunt for a third straight title, and Liverpool are desperate to relaunch their season in order to secure a top-four finish.
While injuries and poor form have seen Liverpool sink to an unfamiliar 11th place in the Premier League table, defending champions Man City are neck-and-neck with Arsenal atop the Premier League.
These two teams last met in the Community Shield to kick off the 2022/23 campaign and that match saw Liverpool emerge as 3-1 winners in another entertaining affair.
Few would have predicted what would transpire in the two months that followed: Liverpool winning just two of eight Premier League matches, and Haaland scoring 20 goals to Nunez’s four.

Liverpool vs Man City live updates, highlights from Premier League
1 hour 10 mins from kickoff: One thing Manchester City fans will be keen to see today: a fast start.
Liverpool have conceded the opening goal in 17 of their last 21 games, and an early one for the visitors today could really take the sting out of the atmosphere.
1 hour 40 mins from kickoff: A major fitness concern for Liverpool fans to consider as we close in on the team news announcements.
Ibrahima Konate is an injury worry after picking up a muscle problem in training this week but, with Joe Gomez needed at right-back and Joel Matip out, can Jurgen Klopp afford not to take the risk?
2 hours from kickoff: The financial conversation has been the dominant one leading into Liverpool-Man City on Sunday. It’s probably an indicator of where how many expect this match to go.
“Nobody can compete with City. We cannot act like them, it’s not possible.”
“Newcastle have said ‘there’s no ceiling for this club’, and he’s absolutely right. Congratulations. Some other clubs have ceilings.”

Liverpool vs Man City lineups
Liverpool won’t have starters Luis Diaz (knee), Trent Alexander-Arnold (ankle), and centre-back Joel Matip (calf), and Ibrahima Konate is reportedly a game-time decision after a muscle issue. The Reds are already missing Naby Keita (hamstring), Arthur (thigh), and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (hamstring).
At least Andy Robertson made his return in midweek after sitting out six matches with a hamstring issue, and Curtis Jones (shin splints) reportedly could be ready for his first action since the Community Shield.
Liverpool predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Alisson (GK) — Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas — Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago — Salah, Firmino, Jota
Liverpool predicted subs (9): Kelleher (GK), Robertson, Phillips, Bajcetic, Milner, Jones, Elliott, Carvalho, Nunez,
Man City are missing defender John Stones (hamstring), along with Kalvin Phillips (shoulder surgery) and Kyle Walker (groin surgery). Manuel Akanji has done well to help fill the gap that the absence of Stones and Walker has created.
Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan started in midweek, which presumably means they sit to start this one.
Man City predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Akanji, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo — De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva — Foden, Haaland, Grealish.
Man City predicted subs (9): Ortega (GK), Ake, Gomez, Wilson-Esbrand, Lewis, Gundogan, Palmer, Mahrez, Alvarez
