Manchester City and Liverpool have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of their blockbuster clash at Anfield this afternoon. Both teams will be desperate for three points to claim top spot on the Premier League table after Arsenal’s win over Brentford yesterday.
Today’s meeting between the two teams is the final meeting between Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League. The game has the potential to be another classic between the two teams. If it is it would be a fitting ending to their storied rivalry even though there are plenty of games remaining this season.
For Manchester City, there are three players under injury clouds. Jack Grealish is certain to miss today’s game with a groin injury. Jeremy Doku and Matheus Nunes have been in doubt for today’s clash. It will be interesting to see if both come up to feature in the Manchester City squad today.
