PEP GUARDIOLA PREVIEW

The boss addressed the media on Friday afternoon and the first question he was asked was whether Erling Haaland will be available for one of the biggest games of the season. 

“Don’t know yet. Tomorrow we will know,” he said in Friday’s press conference.

The boss was much more definite about John Stones‘ availability after the defender went off early on in Madrid, making it clear he expects a lengthy lay-off.

“He is injured - a difficult one. In the next days we will know if he needs surgery or not. It’s the front, his thigh,” he said.

PREVIOUS MEETING

Our last encounter against the Reds at the Etihad ended in a 1-1 draw, as Erling Haaland became the fastest player to notch 50 Premier League goals, before Trent Alexander-Arnold levelled for the visitors.

In the reverse fixture at Anfield earlier this season, Arne Slot’s men secured a 2-0 home victory thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah.

      LAST TIME OUT

      Our last Premier League encounter the weekend prior saw us secure a convincing 4-0 win over Newcastle United, with Omar Marmoush bagging his first career hat-trick and James McAtee also getting on the scoresheet.

      On Wednesday evening, we exited the UEFA Champions League after a 6-3 aggregate defeat at the hands of Real Madrid.

      As for Liverpool, they battled hard at Anfield to secure a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah, but on Wednesday night, the Reds were held to a 2-2 draw in the Premier League by Aston Villa at Villa Park.
