Liverpool
The Anfield treatment room is well-stocked ahead of Sunday's crunch clash, as Arthur Melo, Luis Diaz, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remain out of contention for Liverpool, but Curtis Jones is in with a chance of featuring.
Andy Robertson was able to come off the bench in the Champions League win over Rangers and is now primed to replace Kostas Tsimikas at left-back, with Joe Gomez deputising for Alexander-Arnold on the opposite flank.
Once again, Klopp is facing the 4-3-3 vs. 4-2-3-1 dilemma for the visit of the champions, but none of Salah, Nunez, Firmino or Diogo Jota - who set up all of Salah's goals in midweek - deserve to be dropped.
However, the Liverpool boss may ultimately side with the 4-3-3 amid fears of his crop being overrun in midfield, with Firmino possibly being the unlucky one to take up a spot on the bench.
Liverpool possible starting lineup:
Alisson; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago; Salah, Nunez, Jota
Manchester City
The Man City infirmary is nowhere near as full as Liverpool's, and Guardiola has confirmed that Erling Braut Haaland will be fine to lead the line after being rested as a precaution in midweek.
However, the game will come too soon for the trio of John Stones, Kalvin Phillips and Kyle Walker, but Aymeric Laporte is likely to drop out of the defence as Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake return alongside Manuel Akanji and Joao Cancelo.
Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva are also set to earn recalls to the starting lineup, which could see Ilkay Gundogan demoted down to the bench, unless Guardiola opts to drop Jack Grealish and field Silva in a more advanced position.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Cancelo, Akanji, Dias, Ake; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Prediction: Liverpool 2-3 Manchester City
