Pep Guardiola brings his Man City charges to Anfield for a top of the table clash against Liverpool tomorrow.
A win for the visitors would see the Reds' lead trimmed to three points - but Jurgen Klopp could be nine points clear of City if all goes to plan for him.
In the absence of Joel Matip, Klopp must choose between Dejan Lovren and Joe Gomez to partner Virgil van Dijk in defence.
And the make-up of his midfield is a bit of a dilemma too with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in fine form and pushing for a start.
But what about Guardiola and his City starting options?
David Silva, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leroy Sane are all unavailable.
Guardiola has also ruled out Ederson, after the keeper was withdrawn at half time during the Champions League draw against Atalanta on Wednesday.
Rodri has been on the sidelines for a while with a hamstring issue, but is reported to have taken small parts in training sessions this week and could yet make a surprise return.
The Manchester Evening News have put together their expected City starting eleven for tomorrow's showdown.
It sees Claudio Bravo replace the injured Ederson in goal, with former Liverpool man Scott Carson called into back-up duty.
John Stones and Fernandinho are set start at the back with Kyle Walker and Benjamin Mendy on the flanks. Nicolas Otamendi is on the bench.
The midfield trio is comprised of Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva.
While in attack, the MEN anticipate Guardiola will go with Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero and Riyad Mahrez.
MEN's Manchester City predicted XI vs Liverpool: Bravo; Walker, Stones, Fernandinho, Mendy; Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo; Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.
