Dominik Szoboszlai playing for Liverpool; he has been confirmed in the starting lineup at right-back to face Manchester City.

As predicted, the lineup remains unchanged since the 4-1 win vs. Newcastle. Arne Slot was hopeful that Joe Gomez could return to the bench after an injury, but that is not the case.

Liverpool Confirmed Starting XI

Starters:  Alisson, Van Dijk, Konaté, Kerkez, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Salah, Gakpo, Ekitike, Gravenberch.

The Substitutes Bench

Substitutes: Mamardashvili,  Woodman, Endo, Chiesa, Jones, Robertson,  Nyoni, Ramsay, Ngumoha.

Man City Starting XI

Starters:  Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, Ait-Nouri, Rodri, Bernardo (c), O’Reilly, Semenyo, Marmoush, Haaland

Subs: Trafford, Dias, Reijnders, Ake, Cherki, Nico, Foden, Alleyne, Lewis

The Verdict

Slot was smart not to change the Starting XI for this big match with Man City. After all, this is basically the same lineup that has won the last two matches by a score of 10-1. With only one game this week, everyone should be rested.
