It’s matchday at the Etihad Stadium, and all eyes are on Liverpool’s starting lineup as Arne Slot’s men prepare to take on Manchester City in a highly anticipated Premier League showdown.
Following back-to-back victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid, confidence in the Liverpool camp is sky-high. The Reds have shown both resilience and attacking flair in recent weeks, and Slot’s tactical tweaks appear to be paying off.
Ahead of kickoff, notable selection decisions have been made — Cody Gakpo retains his place in the side after an impressive run of form, while Hugo Ekitike also earns a call-up, reflecting Slot’s trust in his growing influence within the squad. The manager has also opted for a slight formation change, suggesting a more flexible setup designed to exploit City’s defensive vulnerabilities.
With both sides chasing vital points before the international break, this fixture promises fireworks. The clash between Slot’s revitalized Liverpool and Pep Guardiola’s reigning champions could prove pivotal in shaping the title race.
Kickoff approaches, and the question remains — can Liverpool’s momentum continue against one of Europe’s most dominant sides?
