Liverpool XI vs Man City: Predicted line-up, latest team news and injuries for Premier League match

Liverpool have no fresh injury concerns to contend with ahead of Sunday’s heavyweight clash with Manchester City.

The Reds will still be without defender Joel Matip, who has yet to overcome a knee problem aggravated by an early return to action.

Swiss forward Xherdan Shaqiri also remains sidelined by a torn calf sustained in training in late September.

But, aside from the aforementioned pair and long-term absentee Nathaniel Clyne, Jurgen Klopp’s side have a clean bill of health ahead of facing the reigning Premier League champions.

That means captain Jordan Henderson is able to return having missed the midweek visit of Genk to Anfield through illness.

Klopp said: “Joel [Matip] is still out, like Shaq and like Clyney. That’s it, probably. Jordan is completely fine.”

Concerns that Virgil van Dijk might miss out were raised by the Dutchman’s absence from training-ground photographs on Thursday.

However, Klopp has insisted his No.4 will be available to face Pep Guardiola’s men.

He added: “Virg was for other reasons not here [on Thursday] but he is completely fine.”

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