Eight players set to miss Liverpool vs Manchester City clash, Haaland update confirmed

Liverpool welcome Manchester City to Anfield on Sunday in what promises to be a charged atmosphere as Premier League action resumes, according to Mirror Football.

The outlet reports that a total of eight players – split between the two clubs – will miss the match due to injuries or suspensions, leaving both managers to adjust their line‑ups ahead of the showdown.

While the exact identities of the absentees have not been disclosed, the missing personnel include a mix of regular starters and squad players, meaning each side will have to reshuffle tactics and personnel to compensate for the gaps.

Mirror Football also confirmed that Erling Haaland is fit and available for Manchester City, ending speculation about his fitness after missing the previous game.

The reduced ranks add another layer of intrigue to a fixture that could have significant implications for the title race, and supporters are expected to create a vibrant backdrop for what should be a thrilling encounter.
