Six players are guaranteed to miss the Premier League clash between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield. Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed that Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo failed to recover from injuries sustained on international duty, joining Hugo Ekitike, Conor Bradley, and Giovanni Leoni on the sidelines. For Manchester City, Phil Foden will miss out as he serves the final match of a three-game ban following his red card in the Manchester derby.

Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca faces fewer injury issues, with Erling Haaland declared fit after limping off for Norway and Antoine Semenyo returning to training, though Nico O'Reilly remains a major doubt. Liverpool received a boost as Jeremy Jacquet recovered from a hamstring strain, while Federico Chiesa could make his first matchday squad of the season following a back issue.
