TEAM NEWS
For the host, they will be without Fernandinho following his red card against Chelsea, while Aguero’s knee problem also rules him out of the clash.
Eric Garcia remains a doubt. Otamendi could start alongside Aymeric Laporte at the heart of the defence against Liverpool.
For the visitors, James Milners remains a major doubt, while Joel Matip is out for the season due to a foot injury he sustained in the Merseyside derby. Xherdan Shaqiri has now returned to training but is not yet fit enough to return having been out since January.
PREDICTED LINEUPS
Man City: Ederson; Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko; De Bruyne, Rodrigo, Gundogan; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum; Salah, Firmino, Mane
