Manchester City vs. Liverpool: Starting XIs, Teams from 2015 Premier League

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp faces his toughest assignment since taking over at Anfield, as the Reds travel to the home of Premier League pace-setters Manchester City.

Manuel Pellegrini’s City team have had a strong beginning to the term. They did drop points last time out at Aston Villa, but at the Etihad Stadium, they’re a much more fearsome opponent.

Here’s the XI for this clash with Liverpool, per their official Twitter feed:

It’s been a stuttering start for the Reds under Klopp, with their defeat against Crystal Palace an illustration of how much hard work the German has to do.

Here’s the team picked for this contest, as Liverpool seek to secure a shock win:

City will be seeking to establish some consistency to their play after the resumption of domestic football, having been sensational for the most part but occasionally one-dimensional.

The men from Merseyside would be pleased to escape with a point, although after an impressive 3-1 win at Chelsea in their previous away league game, they will feel capable of leaving the Etihad victorious.
