LIVERPOOL vs MANCHESTER CITY
Liverpool are waiting on the fitness of midfielder Naby Keita. The Guinean was carried off with a back spasm during the Champions League loss to Napoli on Wednesday and manager Jurgen Klopp was unsure whether he would be able to train ahead of the match. If Keita does not make it, Jordan Henderson is likely to start. Forward Adam Lallana is back in full training after a groin problem.
Kevin De Bruyne has a chance of featuring for City after returning to training following a knee injury. Left-back Benjamin Mendy is also back in contention after recovering from a foot problem but midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (hamstring) is doubtful and Fabian Delph is still on the sidelines. Goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is a long-term absentee with a ruptured Achilles.
