Liverpool vs Man City lineups confirmed: Four changes for the Reds; six for City

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp went with his tried-and-tested big-game line-up for the visit of Manchester City.

That meant four changes from the Champions League win over Genk with Andy Robertson returning at left-back, Jordan Henderson coming back into midfield and Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane rejoining the forward line.

City made six changes as Claudio Bravo started in goal for the injured Ederson with three of the back four from Wednesday's Champions League draw against Atalanta altered.

John Stones was picked to partner Fernandinho in the centre of defence with Kyle Walker and Angelino, who was making only his second Premier League start.

Rodrigo came into midfield with Sergio Aguero preferred up front to Gabriel Jesus.

Here are the confirmed Liverpool vs Man City lineups…

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Lovren, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

Substitutes: Adrian, Milner, Keita, Gomez, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Lallana, Origi.

Man City XI: Bravo, Walker, Stones, Fernandinho, Angelino, Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero

Substitutes: Carson, Jesus, Silva, Mahrez, Cancelo, Otamendi, Foden
