Liverpool are looking to compete with Manchester City once again in the Premier League title race this season. The Reds are currently top of the table after the October international break, one point ahead of Pep Guardiola's side.

Arne Slot and Co. will face Chelsea in their return to top-fight action this weekend as they look to maintain their spot at the Premier League summit. Man City, meanwhile, will take on Wolves, but may be without some key players.

Slot has been forced to deal with several injury concerns this season at Liverpool. Alisson Becker is ruled out for several weeks with a hamstring injury, while Federico Chiesa and Harvey Elliott have also been sidelined in recent fixtures.

With Liverpool battling against Man City in the title race, the ECHO takes a look at how their current injury list looks ahead the October international break.

Rodri

Rodri is sidelined for the remainder of the season after suffering an ACL injury during Man City's draw with Arsenal on September 22.

The Spain International will miss both matches against Liverpool in December and February, with City now without one of their star midfielders until the end of the campaign.

Nathan Ake

Nathan Ake has been out with a thigh injury ever since the September international break.

Ake has missed all of City's last seven fixtures but could return for their Premier League clash against Wolves this weekend.

Kevin De Bruyne

Kevin De Bruyne has been absent with a pelvic injury that has seen him miss City's last five fixtures.

Guardiola was hopeful that De Bruyne could return from the injury after the international break, with an update expected ahead of the weekend's clash against Wolves.

Oscar Bobb

Oscar Bobb has been sidelined with a fractured leg that he suffered back in August.

The forward was given a timeframe of three to four months for a return, meaning he could be back in the matchday squad in November or December.
