Man City vs Liverpool preview: The pinnacle of the Premier League

Liverpool is set to face Manchester City in a crucial Premier League away game at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Coming off a 3-0 victory against Brentford before the international break, the Reds enter the match with a boost of confidence.

 

Jurgen Klopp is anticipated to stick with the 4-3-3 formation, with potential adjustments to the starting lineup. Leading Liverpool’s offensive charge is expected to be Mo Salah, a key figure in the team’s attacking strategy.

 

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who secured a clean sheet in the last league match, is confirmed to start. The defensive duo of Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate will anchor Liverpool’s backline, aiming to maintain a strong defensive presence.

 

Trent Alexander-Arnold is positioned as the right-back, while the left-back role is a subject of uncertainty, with Joe Gomez expected to play despite some doubts. Both full-backs will need to carefully choose moments to join the attack while maintaining defensive responsibilities. The match promises to be a strategic battle between two top-tier teams in the Premier League.
