Liverpool are without Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley for today’s huge Premier League showdown with Manchester City.

The duo both sustained injuries during Wednesday's 2-0 over Real Madrid in the Champions League as their remarkable start to the season continued.

Konate appeared to have been in significant pain when requiring treatment at the end of the victory over the European champions, and has reportedly been ruled out for the rest of the year, while Bradley had to come off towards the end of the game itself and is now also not expected to return before 2025.

“It is never a good sign if players,” revealed the Reds boss on Thursday.

“Conor, I had to take him off and Ibou didn’t walk off the pitch as he should have after such a fantastic game that he played. He should have made a round [of the pitch] and clapped the fans but unfortunately he couldn’t so that’s not a good sign.”

Vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to start at right-back, while Joe Gomez comes in to partner Virgil van Dijk in the centre of defence.

Dominik Szoboszlai gets the nod over Curtis Jones in midfield and Cody Gakpo leads the line, as Darwin Nunez has to settle for a place on the bench.

Diogo Jota, Kostas Tsimikas, Federico Chiesa and Alisson Becker are not involved for the visit of the champions, who trail Liverpool by eight points.
