Liverpool will face off against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium this Saturday night as they look to secure a good result on the road in the Premier League. The Reds managed to secure a narrow 1-0 win over Real Madrid in midweek, which should give them a ton of confidence ahead of this game.
Arne Slot will set his team up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Hugo Ekitike would once again get the nod to lead the line for the Merseyside club up top.
4-2-3-1 Liverpool Predicted Lineup To Face Manchester City
Defence
Giorgi Mamardashvili will feature in between the sticks for the Reds after he kept a clean sheet in his last outing. Ibrahima Konate will continue to function alongside Virgil Van Dijk at the centre of the Liverpool backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.
Conor Bradley will try to catch the eye as the right-back, while Andy Robertson hopes to impress on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will try to go forward and express themselves in the opponent’s half.
Joe Gomez and Milos Kerkez will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch will anchor the midfield for the Merseyside club as they look to set the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.
The gifted trio of Florian Wirtz, Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah will operate just ahead of them as part of the Liverpool attack. All three of them would have to combine well if the Reds are to secure all three points at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.
Curtis Jones, Cody Gakpo and Wataru Endo will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Hugo Ekitike will lead the line for the Reds up top. He would be eager to impress and put in a good performance against Man City this Sunday.
Federico Chiesa will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if needed.
