Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Liverpool clash: Rodri, Kovacic, Stones, Doku latest

Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's injury and suspension news ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday.

Manchester City will be looking to end a miserable six-game winless run in all competitions when they travel to Anfield for a challenging test against Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday.

The Citizens may have seen their five-game losing streak come to an end on Tuesday night, but they threw away a three-goal lead with less than 15 minutes remaining to draw 3-3 with Feyenoord in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola's side, who have struggled with injuries for several weeks, have lost each of their last three Premier League games and have subsequently slipped eight points behind an in-form Liverpool outfit at the summit.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Arne Slot's side.


Rodri
