Story summary

Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo are unavailable for Liverpool against Man City due to injury. Erling Haaland, despite limping off during Norway’s Nations League match, is set to play for Man City after recovering in Marbella. Man City's predicted lineup includes Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol; Fernandez, Anderson; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland. Phil Foden serves the final game of his suspension, while Nico O’Reilly and Semenyo are doubts. The match is scheduled for 4:30 PM BST on Sunday, October 11, 2026, at Anfield, broadcasted live on Sky Sports. Liverpool aims to steady their inconsistent start under Andoni Iraola, while Man City, led by Enzo Maresca and unbeaten so far, faces potential hostility from the home crowd after being found guilty of financial breaches by an independent commission.
