Liverpool will take on Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, looking for their second win in a row in the Premier League.
The team has climbed to second place after a strong 4–1 victory against Newcastle United. Manager Arne Slot has seen improvements in his attack, particularly with Hugo Ekitiké, who averages a goal contribution every 112 minutes. Liverpool has an impressive home record against City, having lost only once in their last 22 encounters at Anfield. A win today would narrow the gap to league leaders Arsenal.
Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot is managing a team missing several key players in both defense and attack. Jeremie Frimpong is out due to a thigh injury, and Alexander Isak is also unavailable. As a result, Dominik Szoboszlai may play at right-back for added defensive support. Florian Wirtz is in great form, contributing to nine goals in his last 11 matches.
Alisson Becker will be in goal, with Ibrahima Konaté and Virgil van Dijk as the central defenders. Miloš Kerkez is likely to remain at left-back. In midfield, Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister will lead the charge. Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo will flank Ekitiké from the wings. Liverpool has shown resilience, earning 28 points from losing positions since last season, which will be crucial against the champions.
