Liverpool's predicted XI vs Man City(Image: EA Sports)

Liverpool will be looking to avoid dropping points for the third time in four Premier League games when they face Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

After goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins cancelled out Mohamed Salah's opener, a second-half Trent Alexander-Arnold strike saw Liverpool draw 2-2 with Aston Villa in their last Premier League outing.

The victory sent the Reds eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table ahead of this weekend's fixtures, but with Darwin Nunez missing a big chance at Villa Park, it seemed like two points dropped more than a point gained for Arne Slot's side.

Next up is a huge clash for Liverpool's title hopes, with the Reds facing a trip to the Etihad to take on Man City.

The last time Liverpool won in the Premier League away to City was back in 2015, with the Etihad far from a happy hunting ground for Slot's side.

Conor Bradley is expected to miss out after coming off against Villa with an injury, while it seems touch-and-go whether Cody Gakpo will return for the City clash.

Joe Gomez also remains out, with the defender recently undergoing surgery.

So, could Liverpool finally pick up a long-awaited win away to Man City in the Premier League later today?

Let's take a look...

To complete this simulation, we used EA FC 25 and updated the squads with the latest injuries and suspensions.

We predict that City could set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their line-up as follows: Ederson; Khusanov, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Kovacic; Silva, De Bruyne, Savinho; Marmoush.

We predict that Liverpool could line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with their starting XI as follows: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz; Jota.

Manchester City were on top in the opening stages, and they almost pulled ahead when Kevin De Bruyne tried his luck from distance, but his effort was tipped over the bar by Alisson, with the 'keeper at full stretch to brilliantly deny the Belgian.

Salah burst away from the defender to go one-on-one with Ederson, and he made no mistake with his finish, firing into the top corner to make it 2-0.
