Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Liverpool

Manchester City will be desperate for a win against Liverpool in their next game as they look to close the gap to the league leaders.

Victory would see Pep Guardiola's side move within three points of the Reds, but a defeat would stretch the gap to nine points.

City could even drop down to fourth with a loss, if Chelsea and Leicester City both win their respective games.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's contest.
