Manchester City injury list & return date ahead of Liverpool clash
Manchester City are top of the Premier League table currently
Before this weekend’s main match, Pep Guardiola’s triple winners are just one point ahead of their Merseyside rivals; nevertheless, two weekends ago, the hosts’ incredible winning run came to an abrupt halt.
After choosing a different colour of blue since the end of the 2021–22 season, Cole Palmer, Raheem Sterling, and Mateo Kovacic all rejoined their former employers at Stamford Bridge two weeks ago. Screenplays had previously been composed for each of the trio of players to emerge as the hero in West London.
The Champions are leading both Liverpool and Arsenal, who could be overtaken by Tottenham Hotspur or Aston Villa based on the outcome of their exciting match on Sunday.
However, scoring four goals at Stamford Bridge means that the Citizens have scored three goals or more in each of their previous five games.
Man City have the opportunity to create English football history by matching Sunderland’s historic record of 24 straight home victories, which was established between 1890 and 1892. This only makes a reinvigorated Liverpool even more motivated to make up for their recent mistakes in this match.
