Liverpool line-up to face Manchester City in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp has named his Liverpool team for today’s clash against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Captain Jordan Henderson missed the clash at the Santiago Bernabeu because of illness but features in midfield.

However, Darwin Nunez is not fit enough to start. The forward pulled out of international duty with Uruguay because of a cut ankle and only makes the bench. It means Harvey Elliott comes into the midfield, with Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo and Diogo Jota in attack.

Luis Diaz returned to training earlier this week but is not involved. Liverpool are being cautious with his fitness given he’s been sidelined for almost six months.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinh, Henderson, Elliott, Salah, Gakpo, Jota.

Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Matip Tsimikas, Milner, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arthur, Nunez, Firmino.
