Man Cityvs.Liverpool

The Reds were forced to settle for a share of the spoils in Wednesday's 2-2 stalemate with Aston Villa, where they required a deflected Trent Alexander-Arnold leveller to rescue a point in the second half.

Arne Slot's men may therefore only be five points clear of Arsenal by the time Sunday's crunch clash rolls around, if the Gunners can sink West Ham United in their London derby the day before.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Liverpool's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Man City, who were dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in midweek.

Conor Bradley

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: February 23 (vs. Manchester City)

Conor Bradley entered the action as a substitute on Wednesday night but was himself forced off with a suspected hamstring problem, one which Slot has admitted is "99.9%" likely to keep him out of Sunday's tie.

Cody Gakpo

Status: Major doubt

Type of injury: Knock

Possible return date: February 23 (vs. Manchester City)

Cody Gakpo has now been unavailable for the Reds' last two matches after picking up a knock in the Merseyside derby, and Slot is waiting with bated breath to learn whether the Dutchman will be fit for the weekend.

Joe Gomez

Status: Out

Type of injury: Hamstring

Possible return date: Unknown

Joe Gomez is facing a lengthy spell out with the hamstring injury he sustained in the FA Cup defeat to Plymouth Argyle, and the defender may need to undergo surgery to correct the issue.

Tyler Morton

Status: Out

Type of injury: Shoulder

Possible return date: Unknown

Young midfielder Tyler Morton is currently rehabilitating from a serious shoulder injury, and Slot is not anticipating his return for a number of weeks.
