Liverpool v Manchester City: predicted line-ups for Premier League meeting

Liverpool host Manchester City at Anfield in a heavyweight Premier League clash on the sixth matchday, with both sides targeting a result that could prove important in the fight near the top of the table.

The fixture is expected to be played in an intense atmosphere as two of English football’s leading clubs meet. In its pre-match assessment, Africafoot has outlined the likely starting line-ups for both teams.

Liverpool

Liverpool face uncertainty over Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo after both players suffered injuries while on international duty. The Reds are also without Conor Bradley and Hugo Ekitike, who remain unavailable as they continue their rehabilitation.

Liverpool’s probable XI is:

Goalkeeper: Alisson

Defenders: Jeremie Frimpong, Jeremy Jacquet, Virgil Van Dijk, Milos Kerkez

Midfielders: Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai

Forwards: Victor Munoz, Florian Wirtz, Bradley Barcola

The match forms part of Liverpool’s sixth round of Premier League fixtures, with the club preparing to welcome Manchester City to Anfield.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca also has fitness concerns to consider after the international break. Nico O’Reilly was forced to leave the England camp, making his availability for the match uncertain.

Phil Foden will definitely miss the game, as he remains suspended. That absence adds to the selection issues facing Manchester City ahead of their visit to Liverpool.

Manchester City’s probable XI is:

Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma

Defenders: Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Marc Guehi, Josko Gvardiol

Midfielders: Elliot Anderson, Rayan Cherki, Enzo Fernandez

Forwards: Iliman Ndiaye, Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo

Liverpool and Manchester City will soon meet in the sixth matchday of the English top flight.
