Manchester City desperately need to win at Liverpool tomorrow as they aim to cut the gap between themselves and the league leaders.

Pep Guardiola's side were on course to get back to winning ways against Feyenoord in midweek but a late collapse saw them claim just a point from the game having lead 3-0.

Conor Bradley

Injury: Hamstring

Liverpool boss Arne Slot admitted the nature of his departure on Wednesday against Real Madrid did not look good. It would be a surprise if he was able to feature against City.

Ibrahima Konate

Injury: Knee

The centre-back confirmed on Friday that he would be out of action for a significant period of time. He wrote on social media: "So frustrating to pick up this injury right at the end of a great game on Wednesday night.

Injury: Hamstring

Liverpool's No.1 has been missing since October 5. Caoimhin Kelleher is once again expected to start in his place.

Federico Chiesa

Injury: Unknown

Federico Chiesa has missed Liverpool's last 11 matches. He was not in the squad against Madrid and appears unlikely to make a return against City.

Injury: Ankle

Kostas Tsimikas is facing a short spell on the sidelines after injuring his ankle in training.

Injury: Upper body
