Everything you need to know ahead of the Premier League clash at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday

Manchester City will be looking to respond to their Champions League elimination when they begin a crucial run of Premier League fixtures against Liverpool on Sunday.

City's European dreams are over for a season but they are in the FA Cup semi-finals and will be looking to consolidate their place in the top four.

But much will depend on their results against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea in the next three games.

MAN CITY INJURIES

Fatigue will be an issue following Wednesday's defeat in the south of France. City stayed in Monaco to train on Thursday morning and returned back to Manchester later that afternoon.

Pep Guardiola picked close to his strongest team in midweek and will have to call on many of the same players again, which could be an issue given Liverpool last played on Sunday.

Vincent Kompany is fit but his role in Guardiola's plans is unknown and he will almost certainly not start, though he could be on the bench.

Gabriel Jesus and Ilkay Gundogan are still out injured.

MAN CITY SUSPENSIONS

Neither City nor Liverpool have any suspensions.

MAN CITY POTENTIAL STARTING LINE-UP

Yaya Toure is a contender to come back into the side, possibly for Kevin De Bruyne, who has looked tired of late, though Guardiola elected to keep the Ivorian out of the fast-paced game against Monaco and may decide the same course of action is needed against Liverpool.

The team as a whole will be largely unchanged. Pablo Zabaleta may come in at right-back, and Guardiola may as ever make a change in the centre of defence, but he will want to win this game and pick a strong as team as possible in City's last game before the international break.
