Liverpool v Manchester City: Confirmed team news and line-ups as hostile Anfield awaits Maresca’s men

/ Football News / Premier League News Liverpool v Manchester City: Confirmed team news and line-ups as hostile Anfield awaits Maresca’s men Catch up with all the team news ahead of Liverpool vs Manchester City in the Premier League.

Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield this afternoon in a blockbuster Premier League encounter between two sides yet to taste defeat this season.

Andoni Iraola’s men have made a solid, if unspectacular, start to the campaign, collecting nine points from their opening five league matches.

The Reds have won twice and drawn three times under the Spaniard, leaving them six points behind league leaders City heading into the weekend.

Liverpool will be hoping to close that gap with a win, although their preparations have been disrupted by injuries to Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo during the international break.

Manchester City, meanwhile, arrive at Anfield with a perfect record of five wins from five under Enzo Maresca.

The former Chelsea boss has enjoyed an excellent start to life at the Etihad and could become just the fourth manager to win his first six Premier League matches in charge of a club.

But City’s impressive form has been overshadowed by the verdict in their long-running financial case, with the club found guilty of serious breaches of Premier League rules. City deny wrongdoing and have appealed the ruling.

The visitors now face what promises to be a hostile reception at Anfield as they look to strengthen their position at the top of the table.
