ℹ️ Team News: Manchester City

In all likelihood, The Citizens may well kick off with a 3-2-4-1 formation for the game, utilising Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Rodri, Manuel Akanji, Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.

ℹ️ Team News: Liverpool

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp has a number of players out of action. Conor Bradley (Back injury), Thiago (Fitness), Stefan Bajcetic (Calf injury) and Andrew Robertson (Shoulder injury) are not able to play.

It’s our belief that The Reds might utilise a 4-3-3 lineup with a starting lineup of Alisson Becker, T. Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, K. Tsimikas, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota.

✨ Prediction

Our feeling is that Liverpool have enough to put a goal past this Manchester City lineup, however that is unlikely to prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We are anticipating a close game with a 2-1 win for Manchester City at the end of this one. Definitely a tough call.
