There will be smoke, noise and a sense of authentic event glamour. People will shout at a bus. The TV graphics will woosh and sparkle. In due course a skinny-legged man will perform high-speed tactical mime on the touchline, revolving both hands and yanking at invisible levers, as though reversing an imaginary submarine. There will surely be goals too. Liverpool and Manchester City have mustered 50 between them in their past 14 games before their bravura meeting at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. But this also feels like a game that might just be marked by misses too, by shanks, muffs,…

Jurgen Klopp has some decisions to make with his line-up for Liverpool’s game against Manchester City on Sunday.

Liverpool has a new injury concern ahead of Sunday’s game against Manchester City after Ibrahima Konaté limped off against Sparta Prague. But Joe Gomez had no fitness issues when he was withdrawn at half-time. Reds fans were left wondering if Gomez being taken off was injury-related when he was replaced by Conor Bradley. And any fears only grew when Konaté pulled up just moments after the break and had to be replaced by Virgil van Dijk. It sparked fresh worries of a new defensive crisis before the visit of the reigning Premier League champions at Anfield on Sunday. Manager Jürgen…

Jürgen Klopp has the majority of his Liverpool team against Manchester City already decided, but he’ll have to determine the risk on one of his big calls. The majority of the Liverpool team that takes to the field against Manchester City will take care of itself. We know, for example, that Caoimhín Kelleher will be in goal, and Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté will start at center-back if the latter is fit and available. Alexis Mac Allister, Darwin Núñez and Luis Díaz are among those who are near-certain to be in the starting line-up as well, with each of…

James received a treatment on his injured ankle over the All-Star break and was forced to miss the team’s first game coming out of it against the Golden State Warriors. He has been on the injured report ever since and while…
