Liverpool vs Manchester City Team News
The champions have bolstered their defensive ranks with the deadline-day additions of Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak, but Nat Phillips’s impressive outings recently could mean that he keeps his spot alongside Jordan Henderson, allowing Klopp to ease his new arrivals into his plans more.
Fabinho again missed out in the game against Brighton but could be back in time for the Man City game, while Joel Matip has been ruled out for the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage and Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Diogo Jota also remain sidelined.
James Milner is a slight doubt with a hamstring issue and Naby Keita is not far away from being back in contention. Sadio Mane might return for this fixture as he was not used in the loss vs Brighton and may return to play Cityzens.
