Manchester City faces Liverpool with injury concerns ahead of Premier League clash

Manchester City faces Liverpool on Sunday, needing a win to recover from a poor run of form. City has lost three straight Premier League matches and drawn with Feyenoord after squandering a three-goal lead. Manager Pep Guardiola is dealing with several injuries, including long-term absences for Rodri and Mateo Kovacic. Kevin De Bruyne is not fully fit, having just returned to training, which complicates team selection. Guardiola is expected to make limited changes to the lineup. Ederson will start in goal, with a defense likely featuring Josko Gvardiol, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Ake. Ilkay Gundogan is set to play in midfield, with Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva supporting Erling Haaland in attack.
