    Manchester City will be without several key defenders:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Josko Gvardiol (broken leg) \u2014 OUT<\/li>\n
    • R\u00faben Dias (hamstring) \u2014 OUT<\/li>\n
    • John Stones (calf) \u2014 DOUBT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Despite these absences, City\u2019s backline impressed in the Carabao Cup final, with standout performances from Abdukodir Khusanov, Nathan Ak\u00e9, and goalkeeper James Trafford. Young midfielder Nico O\u2019Reilly, who scored a brace in the Wembley win over Arsenal, could again play a pivotal role.<\/p>\n

      Liverpool face their own injury concerns:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Jeremie Frimpong (muscle) \u2014 OUT<\/li>\n
      • Alisson Becker (muscle) \u2014 OUT<\/li>\n
      • Conor Bradley (knee) \u2014 OUT for the season<\/li>\n
      • Giovanni Leoni (ACL) \u2014 OUT for the season<\/li>\n
      • Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring) \u2014 OUT<\/li>\n
      • Wataru Endo (ankle) \u2014 OUT<\/li>\n
      • Federico Chiesa \u2014 DOUBT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        The big positive for the Reds is the return to training of club-record signing Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker, sidelined since December with a fractured leg (and ankle surgery), has been working hard in rehab. Slot described him as being in a \u201creally good place\u201d physically and stronger than before his injury. Isak is unlikely to start but could feature from the bench, providing a timely boost for a side missing consistent firepower.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
