Liverpool have taken a strong squad to the Etihad Stadium including Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Thiago Alcantara.
Manchester City return to competitive action on Thursday and there will be no easing back into things as they take on Liverpool for a place in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. Both sides haven't played in over five weeks due to the World Cup and both squads have been impacted by the tournament.
The Merseyside outfit are without some key players as Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Alisson aren't in the squad after their World Cup exploits while Luis Diaz, Arthur, Diogo Jota and Curtis Jones are all injured. James Milner also hasn't made the short trip.
