Liverpool without Isak, Gakpo for Heavyweight Man City Clash
Liverpool face a potential attacking shortage as both forwards remain doubts and City arrive unbeaten after five league wins.
- Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola confirmed Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo are doubts for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City after both attackers returned early from international duty with Sweden and the Netherlands.
- Isak withdrew from Sweden's squad with a thigh problem, while Gakpo suffered an ankle injury during the Netherlands' victory in Serbia, requesting substitution after only 17 minutes.
- Jeremy Jacquet is also a doubt after missing France's 4-1 victory over Belgium on Monday with a strain to his left hamstring, while Hugo Ekitike remains a long-term absentee due to an Achilles injury.
- Liverpool faces a ruthless Manchester City side with a perfect record, while City returns to action under scrutiny after an independent commission found the club guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules.
- Iraola stated, "I think we need to be very, very good if we want to beat City because they've been especially offensively scoring a lot of goals lately," emphasizing defensive improvements alongside offensive fluidity.
