Liverpool beat Arsenal 5-1 on Saturday as they extended their winning run to nine games, giving them a six point lead over second-placed Tottenham.

With five days between then and tonight’s fixture, Klopp was unexpected to make too many changes to his starting eleven and he names a formidable side at the Etihad.

James Milner and Jordan Henderson both return to the starting line-up, replacing Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri.

The replaced duo join Naby Keita, Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana as alternative options on the substitutes bench.
