Think it's going to be very difficult for us - I don't have a great deal of confidence in our defence at present, particularly against Liverpools' forward line plus their defence is pretty solid but then again our attack is pretty good too! Maybe it will be whoever wins the midfield battle, F25 in there with Stonesy and NO30 behind him.
Is Bernardo fit? - he is both injured and in Buzz's potential starting XI.
Neither side has been brilliant this season and Lawro gets it spot on with his assessment - although Liverpool do seem to be pulling results out of the last minute bag ie Villa and the goalies' mistake against Sheffield Utd. Let's hope it deserts them on Sunday.

Lawro gets it spot on with his assessment -
Should we go with Aguero or Jesus for this match?
How about both? Confound Klipperty with 3-5-2?
Doubtless much will be made of the "depth of City's squad" but I would defy anyone to deny that removing that many first choice quality players from your side is not going to impact your ability to win a game when the margins between the teams are so wafer thin.Ederson
Laporte
Rodri
Silva
Almost half our first choice XI
Just keep it respectable lads, please.
