Jack Grealish is confirmed to be unavailable for Manchester City’s match against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday due to a muscle injury sustained during a previous game. Pep Guardiola will evaluate his team ahead of the match, and there are concerns about Jeremy Doku’s availability as well. Doku was unable to play in the Champions League victory against FC Copenhagen due to discomfort, while Matheus Nunes had to be substituted because of a dislocated finger. Manchester City chose to rest some important players during the midweek game, although Guardiola stated that fatigue was a factor in his decision and that he didn’t specifically consider the upcoming match against Liverpool. Pep Guardiola also advised Man City to ignore Trent Alexander-Arnold’s comments and focus on their performance. Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Jack Grealish is injured and hinted at a dinner with Jurgen Klopp before the match between Liverpool FC and Manchester City.

Despite Julian Alvarez’s strong performance against FC Copenhagen, I would still be inclined to keep Mateo Kovacic in the lineup for the match against Liverpool. Perhaps it is still painful to remember when Ilkay Gundogan was hurried into playing at Anfield in 2018, but despite Alvarez’s talents, opting for a more conservative approach with players in their preferred positions seems like the superior choice. The decision to have Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias, and John Stones on the bench during the week suggests that they may be starting in the upcoming game on Sunday. Erling Haaland participated in almost the entire 90 minutes in the match against Copenhagen, but now he is expected to be the main striker. Kyle Walker was on the bench, but he is likely to return to the starting lineup.
