Liverpool are in the midst of an injury crisis, particularly in defence.

Arne Slot said in his pre-match press conference that he hoped Joe Gomez could return on the bench, although he clarified that the defender will not be able to start.

Jeremie Frimpong is still out so Dominik Szoboszlai is set to continue at right-back.

As for City, Ruben Dias returned to the squad against Newcastle and could make his first start in a month.

Bernardo Silva missed the Newcastle match in midweek with a hamstring issue and is a doubt.

John Stones is back in training but this game is likely to come too soon.

This is a big game for both sides, but both have different aspirations.

Liverpool’s title dreams are over and it is all about consolidating a place in the Champions League.

For City, they cannot afford further slip-ups in the title race.

Both teams are vulnerable in defence, which could make for an entertaining game filled with goals.

Liverpool have dominated this fixture, at Anfield, down the years and have not lost at home to Man City, with fans in attendance, since May 2003 when they were haunted by former striker Nicolas Anelka.
