Liverpool XI vs Manchester City: Jota starts - Starting lineup, confirmed team news, injury latest for game today

Liverpool head into today’s huge clash in good health.

Diogo Jota started on the bench in Portugal despite scoring against Watford last weekend, and is paired alongside Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Klopp says Fabinho will be fit despite suffering a cut in a clash of heads with Nicolas Otamendi on Tuesday as Liverpool secured a 3-0 first-leg victory.

The Reds head to the Etihad a point behind the defending champions and knowing that victory would send them to the top of the division with just seven matches to play.

Trent Alexander-Arnold returned to the starting lineup for the midweek win over Benfica in the Champions League after a hamstring injury and looked in fine form.

Ibrahima Konate scored his first Liverpool goal in that game but has been replaced by Joel Matip.

Jordan Henderson has also come back into the starting lineup, having been left on the bench in Portugal, with Naby Keita losing his place in midfield.

Starting Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Thiago, Henderson; Salah, Mane, Jota.
