The title holders travel to Anfield on Sunday just a point behind the Reds, who top the table heading into the weekend.

Despite a comfortable 3-1 victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League last-16 to build up to the trip, City were dealt fresh blows with both Nunes and Doku initially labelled doubts to face Liverpool.

A painful-looking finger injury led to Nunes being substituted on Wednesday night, the extent of which is yet to be confirmed.

Doku was absent from the City squad for the win and Guardiola revealed post-match that “muscular problems” led to him not being risked.

Jack Grealish remains unavailable while Kevin De Bruyne, Foden and Kyle Walker all return having been rested in midweek.
