Meanwhile, Manchester City is struggling, having suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in their latest league game. They also dropped a 3-3 draw to Feyenoord in the Champions League, marking six games without a win, which is their poorest run under Pep Guardiola.

Team News and Predictions for Liverpool vs. Man City
Goalkeeper Alisson and forward Diogo Jota are close to returning from injuries but are unlikely to make it back for this critical match against City.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has resumed training and may return to the squad after missing the game against Madrid due to a muscle issue suffered by Conor Bradley.
Another worry for the Reds is Ibrahima Konate, who sustained an injury during the final moments of the last match. His situation will be evaluated before the game.
Additionally, Federico Chiesa is only participating in limited training and is not expected to be available for this weekend’s encounter. Konstantinos Tsimikas will also miss out due to an ankle injury incurred during training.
Proposed Liverpool lineup (4-3-3): Kelleher (GK) — Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson — Jones, Gravenberch, Mac Allister — Salah, Nunez, Diaz
Injuries: Alisson (thigh), Jota (abdomen), Chiesa (undisclosed), Tsimikas (ankle), Konate (undisclosed), Bradley (muscle)
Suspensions: None
City’s injuries have also taken a toll on their performance, particularly missing key player Rodri, who is unlikely to return this season. Mateo Kovacic is sidelined until Christmas due to a national team injury. Oscar Bobb is also out with a leg fracture, delaying his season debut.
Defender John Stones is out with a foot injury, but Jeremy Doku may recover in time for the match. Ruben Dias is also a possibility to return from a calf injury.
When asked about the status of Doku and Dias, Guardiola commented, “we will see.”
Predicted Man City lineup (4-3-3): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Akanji, Ake — De Bruyne, Gundogan, Silva — Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Injury list: Rodri (knee), Kovacic (quadriceps), Stones (foot)
Suspensions: None
Prediction for Liverpool vs. Man City
Recent encounters between these two teams have been close, with five of their last nine matches ending in draws. However, City holds a slight advantage with three wins against Liverpool’s solitary victory in this period.
This season, City appears to be struggling, whereas Liverpool is rejuvenated under new management. City will aim to assert themselves in this match, but the Reds are expected to come out on top.
- Final prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Man City
