Pep Guardiola is having the <\/span>toughest<\/span> time of his managerial career. <\/span>Manchester City <\/span>are struggling badly <\/span>and<\/span> it seems like they are<\/span> missing many pieces in the puzzle.<\/span> In their previous game, they took a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord only to leak in the dying minutes and settle for a draw.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Citizens\u2019 problems aren\u2019t reducing anytime soon as they <\/span>have to<\/span> face Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League this Sunday. Their arch-rivals are already leading the points table with eight points <\/span>and<\/span> the English champions cannot afford to drop any further points.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ederson made some silly mistakes in the previous game <\/span>and<\/span> such<\/span> incidents <\/span>aren\u2019t expected<\/span> from him.<\/span> He would like to change the momentum in this game. Kyle Walker could come into the XI at the expense of Rico Lewis to deal with Liverpool\u2019s pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruben Dias<\/a> made it onto the bench in the previous game and is likely to start this game. He should replace Nathan Ake at the heart of the defence to form the pair with Manuel Akanji. Left-back Josko Gvardiol had a disastrous game <\/span>but<\/span> he<\/span> is a top quality one can rely upon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfield<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ilkay Gundogan\u2019s selection becomes necessary amid the injuries to notable midfielders. Bernardo Silva is another name <\/span>that one<\/span> should expect to see on the team list.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, Kevin De Bruyne <\/a><\/span>is likely to<\/span> get his first start in many weeks as the game holds a high significance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attack<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack Grealish should be <\/span>the one<\/span> operating on the left wing <\/span>with<\/span> Phil Foden playing in the central areas. Erling Haaland leads the offensive pack and <\/span>will have to<\/span> play a key role if the Citizens want to do well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mateo Kovacic, Oscar Bobb and Rodri<\/a> are confirmed <\/span>absentees<\/span> while John Stones and Jeremy Doku are doubtful for participation.<\/span><\/p>\n
