The best two sides of recent Premier League seasons do battle at 16:30 BST on Sunday, as Liverpool meet Manchester City at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp makes five changes from the side that lost 3-2 at Arsenal in Gameweek 10, with James Milner, Joe Gomez, Andrew Robertson, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott all coming into the starting XI.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is among those who drop out, but he does make an earlier-than-expected return from injury, as he takes his place among the substitutes alongside Darwin Nunez.

Ibrahima Konate, meanwhile, is absent from the matchday squad.

As for Man City, Pep Guardiola makes just the one change from last weekend’s 4-0 win over Southampton, as Ilkay Gundogan comes in for Riyad Mahrez.

That means Erling Haaland leads the line as expected, but Jack Grealish has to settle for a place on the bench.


GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Milner, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Thiago, Elliott, Salah, Jota, Firmino

Subs: Kelleher, Henderson, Jones, Tsimikas, Darwin, Carvalho, Bajcetic, Phillips, Alexander-Arnold

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Cancelo, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Haaland

Subs: Ortega, Grealish, Laporte, Alvarez, Gomez, Mahrez, Palmer, Lewis, Wilson-Esbrand

    Nunez, oh my word. Absolutely dreadful. Lucky Klopp was down the tunnel there or he’d have been torn a new one

    Back to bench for Nunez , what an idiot

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Klopp deserves to be sent off for telling us TAA would be away for another two games after this! Had to sell and no good options this week so went for Dunk 1pt. Team is a right mess now holding on to James who’s the one actually out for much longer. At least another green arrow this week. May have to go for the FH chip next week…

  13. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    That was so bad from Nunez.

  14. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    85m for Nunyez

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If he thinks he has a better chance of scoring than salah there he must be more stupid than he looks

  16. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    TAA on for Salah

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How? Wasnt he injured till October end?

  17. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So TAA goin forward should be considered by klopp to play as midfielder...

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Agree with Gomez rb

  18. Zalk
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Cancelo almost looking as good defensively as TAA

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Off day.

  19. EDUARDO DA SILVA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Darwin is such a clown of a footballer, how can someone pay money for him.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      85m pounds is a bargain for him.

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        lol 🙂

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Trent on

    One to watch

  21. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Trent vs tired legs. City will score now.

  22. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Was that dangerous play from Klopp or just 1 match ban?

  23. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Oh hello there Trent!

  24. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Nunez might be the worst signing of any kind of sport since the big bang

  25. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    OMG I thought Trent was out for 2-3 weeks

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How is it an OMG?

  26. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Does TAA start next match I wonder…

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Best defensive performance without him. Klopp could play him in midfield over Elliot, that would be nice

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends if Klopp wants to win or not

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It seems much better chance than earlier thought

  27. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Darwin just standing in an offside position.

  28. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I'm still getting the idiot since he's so selfish and comparatively rested.

    1. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My thinking too.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      FH Darwin, Salah, VVD
