Man City Predicted Lineup vs Liverpool – Premier League Showdown

Can Man City Stop Liverpool’s Title Charge?

Manchester City welcome Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium in a crucial Premier League encounter this Sunday. The Cityzens, who suffered a frustrating Champions League exit midweek, now shift their focus to securing a top-four finish. A victory over the league leaders would be a significant boost to their European hopes.

Pep Guardiola’s side can take confidence from their strong home form, with recent wins against Chelsea and Newcastle. However, with Erling Haaland’s fitness still in doubt, City might have to tweak their attacking setup.

Here’s how Manchester City could line up for this high-stakes battle.

Man City’s Predicted XI vs Liverpool (4-2-3-1)

🧤 Goalkeeper

GK: Ederson – The Brazilian shot-stopper was busy against Real Madrid and will need to be at his best to keep out Liverpool’s high-flying attack.

🛡️ Defense

RB: Rico Lewis – After a tough night for Abdukodir Khusanov in Madrid, Guardiola is expected to bring back Lewis to handle Luis Diaz’s pace.
CB: Ruben Dias – Dias has struggled for consistency this season but remains a vital figure in City’s defensive setup.
CB: Nathan Ake – With John Stones sidelined, Ake’s return is crucial. He will have a tough task containing Diogo Jota’s intelligent movement.
LB: Josko Gvardiol – Gvardiol endured a rough night against Kylian Mbappe and now faces another major test against the in-form Mohamed Salah.

🎯 Midfield

DM: Nico Gonzalez – Opened his goal-scoring account for City against Madrid, but his primary role will be disrupting Liverpool’s transitions.
DM: Mateo Kovacic – Expected to start after being benched midweek. His experience in big matches will be key.

⚡ Attack

RW: Phil Foden – Foden has caused Liverpool problems before and will look to exploit Andy Robertson’s declining defensive form.
AM: Omar Marmoush – The Egyptian netted a stunning hat-trick against Newcastle and will be eager to make an impact.
LW: Savinho – With Jeremy Doku struggling for game time, Savinho has emerged as Guardiola’s preferred choice.

🎯 Striker

ST: Erling Haaland – His availability remains uncertain, but Guardiola may take the risk if the Norwegian is even remotely fit.
