Liverpool
- Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were both unused subs at Real Madrid on Wednesday night, though only the former may start against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
- John Stones was forced off early on in the Champions League defeat to Los Blancos, and with Manuel Akanji also ruled out; Nathan Ake should partner Ruben Dias at the heart of the City defence.
- Rodri remains absent, while Oscar Bobb is expected to again miss out on a spot in the matchday squad as he continues his recovery from injury.
- Pep Guardiola has a selection dilemma at right-back with Rico Lewis, Matheus Nunes and Abdukodir Khusanov all options for the City boss.
- Liverpool suffered a fresh injury concern in their 2-2 draw at Aston Villa on Wednesday night as Conor Bradley lasted just 23 minutes in midweek.
- Cody Gakpo missed the stalemate at Villa Park and will face a late fitness test after Arne Slot confirmed this week that the Dutch forward is close to a return.
- That leaves Joe Gomez as Liverpool's only other confirmed absentee ahead of his huge game at the Etihad Stadium.
- Curtis Jones started the midweek stalemate on the left, but Slot may drop the England international to the bench at Luis Diaz's expense as the Reds boss looks to end Liverpool's over-reliance on Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool’s lucky goals will probably stop here. City are out of Europe and have top 4 aim starting in this game. 3/4:2 to City. Arsenal will be 5 points behind Liverpool by Sunday evening.
Darwin Nunez is wanted by several Saudi clubs.Liverpool should take the money as he is basically useless.
Haaland is still feeling the effects of a knee injury he got against Newcastle and will have a late fitness test before the game.
Lpool keeps drawing while arsenal wins theire away games We might not win this trophy Away games will will the league
If Liverpool don't find a way to win this game, I think we'll go on to throw this title away. We absolutely cannot afford another draw with so many games still left to play.
