Manchester City XI vs Liverpool: Foden starts - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for game today

Manchester City are only without Ruben Dias for today’s massive visit of Liverpool in the Premier League.

Dias has been sidelined for a month with a hamstring injury and remains sidelined.

But otherwise Pep Guardiola has a full squad to select from and chooses Phil Foden to start.

Kyle Walker returns after missing Tuesday’s 1-0 Champions League quarter-final first leg win over Atletico Madrid through suspension.

City will be looking to move four points clear at the top but face a Liverpool side who have won ten league matches on the spin since mid-January.

Dias’ continued absence means John Stones will again partner Aymeric Laporte at centre-back, while Walker returns at right-back.

Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola must decide on the balance of his side, with Bernardo Silva joining De Bruyne and Rodri in midfield.

Starting Manchester City XI: Ederson; Walker, Laporte, Stones, Cancelo; Rodri, Silva, De Bruyne; Sterling, Foden, Jesus.
