Liverpool team news
Klopp has confirmed that the Reds will be without first-choice goalkeeper Alisson and Portuguese forward Diogo Jota as they recover from injuries – with Adrian set to fill in between the sticks as Caoimhin Kelleher is also nursing a knock.
Kostas Tsimikas, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Calvin Ramsay have also been on the treatment table at Anfield.
While they are set to miss out against City, big-money summer signing Darwin Nunez is ready to lead the line as he looks to hit the ground running in English football following an impressive pre-season.
Man City team news
As Nunez lines up for Liverpool, City will have their own superstar No.9 ready to provide an attacking focal point, with Erling Haaland having already been among the goals in pre-season.
He has been eased into the fold by Pep Guardiola, as a few slight niggles have been holding him back, but can expect to get minutes at the King Power.
Aymeric Laporte has been ruled out until September in a blow to the Blues’ defensive plans, but Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden and John Stones are ready to rejoin the ranks after missing a summer tour of the United States.
