Rumoured Liverpool starting XI v Manchester City – Sturridge & Benteke on bench

Posted by

The reliable @DamianLFCpl has released Liverpool’s team news ahead of today’s crunch Premier League clash with Manchester City.

And if he’s right, which he almost always is, Jurgen Klopp has deployed an almost identical team to the one which won away at Chelsea three weeks ago.

This means that neither Daniel Sturridge, now fit, nor Christian Benteke are leading the line – but Roberto Firmino instead.

Adam Lallana and James Milner will patrol the flanks with Coutinho in the pivotal no.10 spot.

Elsewhere, it’s as expected. Dejan Lovren will come in for Mamadou Sakho at centre-back and Emre Can will partner Lucas in holding midfield.

Thoughts on this, Reds?
