After an impressive 4-1 win over Newcastle United last week, Liverpool will be looking to carry that momentum through the second half of the season.
Currently sitting sixth in the Premier League table, with Chelsea and Man United winning yesterday, it’s crucial for Arne Slot’s side to put together a good run of form.
But that’s not going to be difficult as they now host Manchester City at Anfield, who have their eyes sight on a title challenge with Arsenal.
A win for the Reds would see them move within one point of Chelsea in fifth and keep their top five hopes alive, whereas a defeat would be a huge blow.
Arne Slot confirmed one potential boost for this one, with Joe Gomez expected to return to the matchday squad.

However, this game comes a bit too soon for right-back Jeremie Frimpong who is still unavailable.
Long-term absentees Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Alexander Isak also remain sidelined.
Liverpool XI: Alisson, Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk (C), Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Wirtz, Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo.
Bench: Mamardashvili, Woodman, Endo, Ramsay, Robertson, Nyoni, Jones, Chiesa, Ngumoha.
