Liverpool and Manchester City is a game that is always going to be full of world stars and when one is missing from the match, like Erling Haaland, it’s always going to provoke a reaction.
Jurgen Klopp spoke on BT Sport after the teams had been announced but before he’d had a chance to see it and it was Peter Crouch who broke the news to him.
The 55-year-old said: “I didn’t see the line-up before I came out, to be honest!”.
Regardless of who Pep Guardiola does field though, it’s always going to be a tough game and we will be prepared to face whatever 11 comes up against us.
