Manchester City will look to move closer to the top of the Premier League standings when they face leaders Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
While the Merseyside giants currently possess a five-point lead over City, Pep Guardiola's side have a game in hand on the defending champions.
Although City's injury issues have eased in recent weeks, the Spaniard still faces the prospect of being without a number of first-team players for the clash at the Etihad Stadium.

Like the Brazilian, a recent injury is expected to keep Mendy out until later this month. Given the players at his disposal, Guardiola will see little reason to take any risks on the left-back.
