Positive results have significantly lifted spirits, largely due to Arne Slot returning to his effective tactics, which fans hope will continue at the Etihad. The international break follows immediately after this game, so securing a third straight win would mark a strong turnaround from Liverpool's form before the October break.
Injury Updates and Squad News
Isak has been sidelined for the last four matches with a groin injury but is expected to make the bench after resuming training last Friday.
“He will train for the first time today (Friday) with the team again, after being three weeks out,” said Slot.
Slot emphasized caution regarding Isak’s fitness, reminding everyone to be patient as the striker won’t be fully match fit yet. He is the only player returning for this fixture.
Good news came for Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, who is expected to be available for their next match against Nottingham Forest. Conversely, Jeremie Frimpong requires more time to recover.
Manchester City will be without Mateo Kovacic due to an ankle injury that will sideline him for most of the season.
