Liverpool have received a triple fitness boost for their clash with Manchester City as Sadio Mane, Alisson Becker and Fabinho return from injury to start.
Fabinho is back following a three-game absence necessitated by a muscle issue, while Mane returns after a similar problem forced him to miss the Reds’ last two fixtures.
Alisson, meanwhile, is back in goal after illness kept him out of the midweek defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield.
That trio’s availability accounts for three of the hosts’ four changes, with 20-year-old midfielder Curtis Jones replacing the experienced James Milner the other.
