Ian Doyle - Roberto Firmino starts
It's Manchester City. Pep Guardiola. And all those other things.
So Jurgen Klopp has some big decisions to make for his team selection this afternoon.
What to do?
For a start, James Milner can stay at right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold out injured.
With almost five days since the Champions League game in Porto, there's no reason to change the back line - so it's hello again to Alisson Becker, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk and Joel Matip.
The same could be said for the midfield, especially Fabinho and Jordan Henderson.

But has Curtis Jones done enough to keep his starting role?
Well, having a hand in all five goals in Portugal suggests he should stay ahead of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Which leaves the forwards.
Mohamed Salah is a definite. Determining the other two, though, is not so straightforward
Roberto Firmino's brace from the bench against Porto means he should start, and Sadio Mane's better defensive qualities mean he gets the nod ahead of Diogo Jota on the left.
Jota can come on and cause mischief in the second half.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Paul Gorst - Curtis Jones continues
The biggest game of the season so far is upon us.
Three points for Liverpool would be massive heading into the international break, sending the Reds back to the summit.
In truth, there’s probably not too much that needs tweaking for today’s team, with the big decision coming up top for Jurgen Klopp.
Diogo Jota or Roberto Firmino?
The Brazilian will have his confidence high after Tuesday’s two-goal cameo off the substitutes’ bench in Porto and he may be better suited to keeping the ball against Man City’s defence.
In midfield, Curtis Jones has to get the nod after his superb performance against the Portuguese with Fabinho and Jordan Henderson alongside him.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson; Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Joe Rimmer - Diogo Jota impact sub
There’s little room for error when you’re up against Man City, and that means Jurgen Klopp must get his team selection right if Liverpool are to take three points.
Key areas of concern are at right-back and in midfield.
But let’s start with the rest of the defence. Alisson starts, as does Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk. Kostas Tsimikas has emerged as a proper contender at left-back but Andy Robertson must start this one.
And so to the right hand side, where Joe Gomez is a proper option and perhaps would get the nod if Liverpool were away from home.
But James Milner’s impression of Trent Alexander-Arnold has been strong so he should get the chance to continue his good form.
The make-up of the midfield would usually come in for some debate but Curtis Jones has been in such good form that it’d be foolish to leave him out.
Up front it’s a choice between Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino, with Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah dead certs to start.
I’m getting the band back together and putting in Firmino, with Jota a good option as an impact sub should Liverpool need him.
My team (4-3-3): Alisson, Milner, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Henderson, Jones; Salah, Mane, Firmino
