Full Man City squad available to face Liverpool with two players ruled out
10.03.2024 - 07:57 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Pep Guardiola will have a near fully-fit squad for Manchester City's clash against Liverpool.
City travel to Anfield to face the Merseyside club in the top-of-the-table clash in the Premier League. Guardiola and Co. go into the fixture having beaten Manchester United at home last weekend.
Midweek also saw City in Champions League action, as they claimed a 3-1 win in the second leg of their last-16 tie against FC Copenhagen. Guardiola was without some key players for that game, including Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku.
City also had Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden as unused substitutes for the win over Copenhagen, while John Stones made a cameo appearance from the bench. Guardiola is likely to call on the majority, if not all, of the quartet in his starting line-up to face Liverpool.

Grealish is sidelined with a groin injury that has seen him miss City's last two games, although he has been dealing with the issue since early February. Doku missed City's win over Copenhagen on Wednesday night through injury, and it remains to be seen if the forward recovers in time to feature at Anfield.
Matheus Nunes is also a doubt after he suffered a finger injury during the win over Copenhagen. The midfielder, though, appears to remain available for selection heading into the trip to Merseyside.
Below is the full list of Man City's expected matchday squad to face Liverpool, barring any late injury or fitness issues:
Goalkeepers: Ederson, Stefan Ortega
Defenders: Ruben Dias, Manuel Akanji, Josko Gvardiol, Kyle Walker,
