The 22 artists make their entrance onto the green rectangle.
Arne Slot remains faithful to his 4-2-3-1. The starting goalkeeper Alisson and the right side Frimpong are still in the infirmary. After a slump, Mo Salah (4 goals and 2 assists in the PL) found some color by scoring during the last two days of the PL. He is associated with Hugo Ekitike (3 goals in PL) and Florian Wirtz in attack. Alexander Isak returns to the group.
Pep Guardiola will play his 1000th match as coach. For this meeting, he opted for a 4-3-3 playing pattern, obviously aligning Erling Haaland at the forefront. The cyborg has scored twice in his last four league games at the Etihad Stadium. We find the Frenchman Ryan Cherki at his side. Manchester City has the best attack and the 2nd defense in the championship
Liverpool, reigning Premier League champion, remained on four consecutive defeats in the league (Crystal Palace (2-1), Chelsea (2-1), Manchester United (1-2) and Brentford (3-2)) before winning against Aston Villa (2-0). The Reds seem to have overcome the difficult start to the season after two victories without conceding a goal, against Aston Villa and especially against Real Madrid (1-0) this week in the Champions League. If they win today, they will take a 2-point lead over the Cityzens.
Pep Guardiola’s men have regained their level of play by going five games without a setback (4 wins and 1 draw). By losing on the lawn of Aston Villa (1-0), they put an end to this dynamic before relaunching against Bournemouth last weekend (3-1). This week, Manchester City easily got rid of Dortmund in the Champions League (4-1). They will be ready to get three points against Liverpool, especially since they have won ten of their last twelve Premier League matches against the reigning champions (1d, 1d).
