Team News Manchester City
Manchester played in the Champions League last Tuesday and defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0. In the league, City was ahead of Liverpool for a long time with a big lead but surprisingly dropped some points in the last weeks, for example against Tottenham Hotspurs (2:3), which allowed Liverpool to cut the gap to one point. With a win, City can close the gap on Liverpool again to a reassuring four points. City still has to do without defender Ruben Dias, but his substitutes are all world-class defenders.
Team news Liverpool FC
Liverpool also played in the Champions League and had to travel back and forth to Portugal to play Benfica Lisboa. The Reds won the game 3-1. Liverpool has fought their way back to the top with an impressive winning streak. The last 6 league games were won, the last 5 of them even without conceding a goal. Nobody has scored against Alisson Becker in the last 5 away games in the EPL either. Juergen Klopp is able to call on his entire squad as all his top players were available.
