Manchester City team overview
After winning four league titles in a row, Manchester City finally had one poor season, at least by their standard. The Citizens finished the season without a trophy for the first time since the 2016/17 season. This year, while they did great in the Champions League and the Cup competitions, the Citizens underperformed in the Premier League a bit. Yes, they are in 2nd place, but are already six points behind Arsenal and cannot afford to drop points at home.
After a 4:1 win over Borussia Dortmund in the previous game, coach Pep Guardiola spoke to the media. He was really happy with a win and especially praised Phil Foden, saying he is back this season. The coach added it was their third win in a row and said it was a good intro for the upcoming big game vs Liverpool.

Liverpool team overview
Arne Slot managed to win the Premier League title last season in his first season with Liverpool. However, this season, the Reds had massive problems, losing six out of seven games in September and October. Not that long ago, it seemed the Dutch coach could easily get sacked. Still, after beating Aston Villa in the PL and Real Madrid in the CL, we can safely say they are gaining some momentum, and the coach earned more time on the Reds' bench.
The players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Alisson, Jeremie Frimpong, Stefan Bajcetic, and Giovanni Leoni. Meanwhile, Alexander Isak is listed as questionable with a groin injury. According to English media reports, he definitely won't start but might be involved in the squad.
