Confirmed Lineups: Manchester City vs. Liverpool

Liverpool starts Darwin Núñez up top in their clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Kostas Tsimikas keeps his place in the starting line-up in the long-term absence of Andy Robertson. While Diogo Jota’s impressive goal-scoring form has earned him a start against the reigning Premier League champions ahead of Luis Díaz.

Curtis Jones returns in midfield following a slight injury knock alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai. 

Liverpool Lineup

Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones, Jota, Salah, Núñez

Substitutes

Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Konate, Diaz, Gakpo, Elliott, Gravenberch, Quansah

Manchester City Lineup

Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Foden, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland

Substitutes

Ortega Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Stones, Gomez, Gvardiol, Bobb, Lewis

LFC Globe Verdict

It’s the best starting line-up Jürgen Klopp could have picked except his long-term absentees of Andy Robertson and Thiago.

It will no doubt be Liverpool’s toughest test of the season and one I believe they’ll flourish in and claim a significant victory.

Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez will get on the scoresheet in a 2-1 win for Liverpool which would see them climb to the top of the table.
