The Premier League title is well within Liverpool’s sight, and a trip to Manchester City today could bring it even closer to reality.

There is no alternative for Slot today - only his strongest possible team will do.



Mohamed Salah takes his usual spot on the right, while Diogo Jota starts up front - the Portuguese clearly hasn’t found his shooting boots yet after his return from injury, but Darwin Nunez just doesn’t look to be in the right place to start at all.

Alisson Becker continues in goal, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson lining up ahead of him in defense - and they’ll no doubt be expecting to come up against Erling Haaland today, no matter how much Guardiola tries to throw them off the scent.

Midfield sees the only change from the 2-2 draw at Aston Villa, with Curtis Jones moving back to the bench to allow Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai to form their usual trio

The academy graduate will no doubt be needed though to add some grit later on, whatever the situation.

Predicted Liverpool line-up vs Aston Villa: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.
