Manchester City take on Premier league rivals Liverpool in the Carabao Cup for a place in the quarter final.
Both teams will be without some key stars after the World Cup’s fascinating end.
City will be without Ederson, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Walker, Stones,Silva, Grealish, Kalvin Phillips, Foden and World Cup winner Julian Alvarez for today’s clash.
Liverpool, unlike City, find most of their key players like Salah, Thiago, Robertson, Nunez, Keita and Fabio Carvalho available.
This fixture is always set to be a cracker as the two sides have rivaled each other for every premier league campaign of the last five seasons.
After weeks away from competitive football, the Reds and the Citizens are looking forward to a win to kickstart the second half of this season’s campaign.
Erling Haaland is likely to lead the line for Pep’s men as the absence of World champion Julian Alvarez seems inevitable.
Liverpool will look to counter upon City’s missed players for this tie and book a place in the last 8 of the competition.
