Matchup Analysis
Liverpool lose two attacking options
Andoni Iraola has ruled Alexander Isak (thigh) and Cody Gakpo (ankle) out of Sunday’s match. Their absences leave Liverpool needing a different route to threaten City in the final third.
SourceJacquet available for selection
Jeremy Jacquet has been passed fit after a minor hamstring concern during international duty. His availability gives Iraola another option in central defence, though it does not confirm he will start.
SourceHaaland cleared to lead City’s attack
Enzo Maresca says Erling Haaland is fit and ready for the trip after rest and recovery during the international break. That gives City their leading striker for a tough away test.
SourceFoden suspension removes a midfield option
Phil Foden is suspended for the final match of his three-game domestic ban. City will have to manage without him, with the available attacking midfielders likely to shoulder more of the creative workload.
SourcePick Ideas
Manchester City to win
City are priced around +135 on the match winner market. Their perfect start through five league matches makes the away price worth considering, though Anfield is a difficult venue.
Haaland anytime goalscorer
Haaland is available and has scored five goals in five league appearances this season; an anytime price around 11/10 is worth checking before kick-off.
