Manchester City team news

Most notably, Erling Haaland remains a doubt after the forward sustained a knock in last weekend's 4-0 win over Newcastle and watched the Champions League knockout stage play-offs second leg defeat to Real Madrid as an unused substitute in the midweek.

As it is, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Oscar Bobb and Rodri are sure to miss out. Meanwhile, whether or not Haaland is passed fit for the tie, Omar Marmoush should feature in the XI.

Liverpool team news

While Joe Gomez and Tyler Morton are expected to miss the trip due to injuries, Cody Gakpo is a major doubt.

Elsewhere, Liverpool manager Arne Slot would also exercise caution with Conor Bradley's hamstring issue.

Historically, Mohamed Salah is a goal or assist short of Steven Gerrard's 14 G/A against City in the competition.
