It’s a massive, and we mean massive top of the table clash at Liverpool on Sunday. Manchester City have just one fitness concern entering this game, in forward Jack Grealish. He is still recovering from a groin injury and won’t feature here.
This gives them a huge advantage over Liverpool, in terms of squad fitness and depth.

Man City Team News
Liverpool could be missing as many as ten players here while City’s current lack of injuries gives Pep Guardiola the opportunity to roll out his best lineup time and time again. And that lineup is firing on all cylinders right now.
Pep rested a few of his key players in the Champions League last 16 second leg win over FC Copenhagen tonight, a match that served as the perfect training session for them.
They got a nice win, an added confidence/morale boost and most importantly, no one got hurt. .
