Liverpool will face Manchester City on Sunday in the Premier League. Both the sides will be eager to get a win here at Anfield to go to the top of the Premier League table. Both the sides are still unbeaten in the Premier League. Both of them have collected 19 points till now in seven matches so far in the Premier League. Manchester City have lost two points against Wolves and Liverpool have earned one crucial point against Chelsea in the previous match in the Premier League.

 

The form of the players of Liverpool are not at the pick. The attacking trio of the Reds are underperforming in this season. Mohamed Salah is not able to replicate his form of the previous season this time. So, Liverpool are struggling to get the wins against the top quality sides in this season. They are now out of the Carabao Cup after the defeat against the Blues in the third round of the Cup. This match is going to be the biggest match of the season according to several football pundits. Manchester City will be keen to keep the Premier League title in this season also. Pep Guardiola has made this side looking like a sharp one and this Manchester City side have the potential to win both the Premier League and the Champions League in this season.

 

Manchester City have got a well fought win against Hoffenheim in the Champions League. On the other hand, Liverpool were beaten by Napoli in the midweek. So, the mental confidence of the players will be a big factor in this match in the Premier League. The result of this match will be a big factor in terms of the position of both the teams in the Premier League.

 

Team News :

 

Liverpool :

 

The Reds will be eager to get a win against Manchester City at Anfield. Naby Keita is the only doubt for Liverpool in this match. He was taken off in the first half against Napoli in the midweek. His fitness will be assessed at the very last moment ahead of the match. If Naby Keita fails to pass the fitness test, Jordan Henderson will be there to replace the player in the midfield. The likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Fabinho and Daniel Sturridge are expected to sit in the bench in this match for the Reds.

 

Manchester City :

 

Pep Guardiola has altered the starting line up of Manchester City in every match of the season. Benjamin Mendy and Kevin De Bruyne will be in contention to start the match against Liverpool. But probably they will be in the bench for Manchester City along with the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Vincent Kompany, Gabriel Jesus and Fabian Delph. Gundogan might be out of contention in this match after receiving an injury in the previous match.
