Story summary

Liverpool will be without key players Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexander Isak, and Cody Gakpo for their upcoming match against Man City. Szoboszlai returned from international duty with an overloaded tight hamstring, while Isak and Gakpo were injured during their respective national team matches. Manager Andoni Iraola expressed concern over the injury situation as Liverpool prepares to face LASK in Europe shortly after.

On the other hand, Man City's star striker Erling Haaland is fit for the crucial match despite limping off during Norway’s Nations League fixture. He has since recovered and is ready to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. Maresca's side will also field Semenyo after he trained on Thursday following an injury setback.

The absence of Phil Foden, serving his final suspension from a red card in the Manchester derby, adds another layer to the tactical decisions Maresca must make. Doubts remain over Nico O'Reilly, who withdrew from the England squad for undisclosed reasons.

Man City’s potential lineup includes Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol; Fernandez, Anderson; Semenyo, Cherki, Doku; Haaland, subject to late fitness tests on Semenyo and O'Reilly.

The match is set to attract significant attention as Man City faces their first major test since being found guilty of financial breaches by an independent commission. Despite the hostile reception expected at Anfield, Enzo Maresca’s team arrives with a formidable lineup led by Haaland's scoring prowess against Liverpool last season.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
