Liverpool XI vs Man City: Confirmed team news and predicted lineup

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has revealed both Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley will be assessed ahead of Sunday’s huge Premier League showdown with Manchester City.

The duo both sustained knocks during Wednesday's 2-0 over Real Madrid in the Champions League as their remarkable start to the season continued.

Konate appeared to have been in significant pain when requiring treatment at the end of the victory over the European champions, while Bradley had to come off towards the end of the game itself.

“Let’s wait and see but it is never a good sign if players,” revealed the Reds boss on Thursday.

“Conor, I had to take him off and Ibou didn’t walk off the pitch as he should have after such a fantastic game that he played. He should have made a round [of the pitch] and clapped the fans but unfortunately he couldn’t so that’s not a good sign.”

Slot, however, has been handed a boost in regards to vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Diogo Jota, Kostas Tsimikas, Federico Chiesa and Alisson Becker are not expected to be involved for the visit of the champions, who trail Liverpool by eight points.
