Man City vs Liverpool: Starting XIs for EPL clash confirmed

Pep Guardiola makes one change from the draw with Chelsea as Nathan Ake returns in place of Josko Gvardiol.

Erling Haaland is fit to start but there is no Jack Grealish in the Man City squad. There is however a place on the bench for John Stones, who returns from injury earlier than expected. It’s a depleted City bench though with only six outfield players named.

Jurgen Klopp welcomes back Alexis Mac Allister from suspension and Curtis Jones from injury as he makes two changes from the team that beat Brentford.

Darwin Nunez starts through the middle fresh from a fruitful international break with Uruguay.
