Liverpool will be at less than 100 percent on Sunday when they travel to Manchester to take on City in a battle of top-6 clubs.
The Reds have numerous injuries, mainly in attacking players, as they look for their third win in a row. Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge have both been ruled out of Sunday’s contest. Henderson has a foot issue that has kept him out the last several weeks, while Sturridge has been out with a hip injury.
Roberto Firmino faces a late fitness test of Liverpool after suffering a groin strain after the win against Arsenal. Firmino was expected to train late this week before Liverpool made a final decision.
Divock Origi got the start last week, but fell ill during this past week and has missed some training time. He will also face a late fitness test to see if he can play.
