Liverpool Echo writers examine the squad issues facing Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola ahead of a Premier League match against Manchester City. With injuries mounting and an intense schedule of nine games in 29 days approaching, certain squad members are facing scrutiny over their form.

Ian Doyle argues that midfielder Ryan Gravenberch represents the biggest concern after losing his starting spot, while Theo Squires highlights Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong as players who urgently need to step up amid injury doubts for Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, and Jeremy Jacquet.
