Liverpool travel to Man City on Sunday looking to regain some momentum in their push for the Premier League title.

Things do not get any easier for the Reds with their trip to Man City on Sunday as the Etihad Stadium has not been a happy hunting ground for Liverpool in the past.

Erling Haaland could be absent for Man City but that will not stop the Manchester club from causing Slot’s men problems and therefore, the Dutch coach will need his best team available.

Having failed to achieve clean sheets in Liverpool’s three most recent matches, Alisson Becker will be looking to keep Man City out on Sunday as no surprises are expected in the goalkeeping position.

Trent Alexander-Arnold showed Liverpool fans why he is still committed to the Reds with his performance on Wednesday night and the fact the full-back was taken off early, suggests he is a nailed-on starter against City.

Many felt Kostas Tsimikas would be handed a start against Aston Villa, however, Slot went with Andy Robertson for the fifth Premier League game in a row and Sunday will be six.

Therefore, when the team sheets are handed around on Sunday, Liverpool fans should expect to see Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai on them.

The trio have been very reliable for Slot this season and despite questions related to whether they are tired or not, the Dutch coach simply has to play them against Man City.

If there are any changes to Slot’s starting 11 against Aston Villa it will come in the attacking areas of his team as there are concerns, especially around the fitness of Cody Gakpo.

We think Slot will take a chance on the Dutch star against Man City and replace Curtis Jones with the 25-year-old on the left wing as the Netherlands international has been fantastic for the Reds this season, producing 16 goals and five assists across 36 games

Following Darwin Nunez’s miss against Aston Villa, alongside Diogo Jota’s struggles in front of goal at Villa Park, Slot is expected to go with Luis Diaz through the middle instead of the £41m star.
