Haaland out! Man City and Liverpool name starting XIs for PL clash | OneFootball

Manchester City and Liverpool have named their sides for the titanic tussle at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon.

Liverpool can go a mammoth 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a win over Guardiola's wounded side, who were mauled by Real Madrid in midweek as they crashed out of the Champions League.

Now, they face a race to reach next season's competition, and need to keep pace with other sides around them, leaving three points vital against Arne Slot's winning machine.

The big news is the absence once again of Erling Haaland, with City's main man missing out with a knee issue.

Here's how the two sides line up...

Manchester City: Ederson; Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Aké; Nico, De Bruyne, Foden; Savinho; Doku, Marmoush

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, Konaté, Robertson; Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Jones, Díaz, Salah
