If this lineup looks familiar, it should. This is the same lineup and same formation (4-2-3-1) that was so successful against Newcastle. The Reds will have to be switched on for the full 90, though, if they want to beat Erling Haaland and Manchester City.
GK: Alisson - He will have to be in top form against Haaland and company
RB: Domonik Szoboszlai - Not a natural defender, has done well as a fill-in due to injuries. He will be tested in this one
CB: Ibrahima Konaté - Had an excellent performance in the last match. Can he match it?
CB: Virgil Van Dijk © - The captain came out with strong words of support for Arne Slot. A win against the Citizens would lend further credence to them
LB: Milos Kerkez - Played better vs Newcastle so he gets the start here
CM: Alexis Mac Allister - Created loads of chances recently. That trend will have to continue
CM: Ryan Gravenberch - The same can be said of Gravenberch. The CMs have to control the middle of the park
RW: Mohamed Salah - The Egyptian King has missed a few chances. He can’t afford to do that vs City
AM: Cody Gakpo - Needs to keep popping up in good spots
LW: Florian Wirtz - a player who can win individual battles with City defenders
ST: Hugo Ekitiké - Has been in top form as of late, pairing with Wirtz
Liverpool predicted lineup graphic 4-2-3-1 vs Man City showing Dominik Szoboszlai at right back, Ryan Gravenberch in midfield, and Hugo Ekitiké up front.
The predicted Liverpool lineup vs Man City. Dominik Szoboszlai drops into right-back in a bold tactical shift, allowing Ryan Gravenberch to return to the midfield engine room.
Key Stat to Watch: Erling Haaland has never scored at Anfield. If Liverpool have a chance to win, that streak needs to continue.
Final Score Prediction: City 2 Liverpool 1
Star Man: Florian Wirtz
