Liverpool fans all say same thing about Pep Guardiola following Man City team news

Liverpool fans are all saying the same thing about Pep Guardiola after David Silva and Rodri were both named in the Manchester City squad.

The two Spaniards had been ruled out of the game by Guardiola before the match, only for the duo to be named in City's 18-man squad.

Rodri hasn't played since he was taken off during City's 5-1 Champions League win over Atalanta on October 22.

However, the holding midfielder has been passed fit to start at Anfield after recovering from a hamstring complaint.

Similarly, Silva has been named on the City bench, having missed their midweek draw with the Italian side.

That has left plenty of Liverpool fans feeling as though Guardiola was playing mind games in the build-up to the match.

The City boss stuck to his word over Ederson, though, despite rumours on social media that the Brazilian would start at Anfield.

They proved to be wide of the mark, with Claudio Bravo deputising between the sticks for the Premier League champions.

Having seen the team sheets, Reds fans were surprised by the inclusion of Rodri and Silva but without Ederson, many are confident their team can move nine points clear of City in the title race.

Here's a round-up of Liverpool fans' team news reaction.
