Key occasions
Solely two attackers for Liverpool in Salah and Diaz? NO DARWIN? No Jota, who was accountable for a few misses at Villa Park too. Each are on the bench.
Ilkay Gundogan and the injured John Stones are out, Gundo benched, Stones on the long-term record. Shock recall for Kevin De Bruyne as Nathan Ake and Jeremy Doku are available in.
Odd, contemplating these feedback:
“However possibly for the calls for, the way in which we now have to play due to the absences or strengths that now we have and physicality and lots of issues, we want a recreation of extra management and never up and down. Don’t inform me why. It’s not private, I determine the selections, that’s all, not more than that…”
Jamie Carragher appeared a bit twitchy when he and Micah Richards had been bantering earlier. His socials recommend his feedback had been taken out of context. Pep was fuming. All gasoline to the fireplace.
Haaland’s knee downside appeared nasty final week – however Metropolis have been tight-lipped.

Preamble
There we had been, now right here we’re, all this confusion: which Manchester Metropolis group will Liverpool face? The group they got here to concern and respect over so a few years? Or the fallible, panicky group that was humiliated in Madrid? Thoughts, which Liverpool group will we see right now? There’s been indicators of a wobble, Arne Slot not wanting practically so cool. Liverpool goal for the title, Metropolis look to the highest 5 however regardless of these various targets, it’s nonetheless key to how the season ends.
