Jurgen Klopp Undecided On Daniel Sturridge’s Status For Man City Vs. Liverpool
Emre Can was misused by Brendan Rodgers, but he has been given a prominent role under Klopp and he will get better every week as a result.
The league leaders are 2/3 to win, whilst Liverpool are valued at 17/4 to claim all three points.
But this is nearly certain to be his toughest test to date, with City needing to win to make sure of their place at the top of the league – second-placed Arsenal only sitting behind them on goal difference.
Attack: Liverpool have been handed a timely boost with James Milner available after a hamstring injury so he should play from the right wing with Philippe Coutinho expected to start in the No. 10 role.
This match pits the division’s quietest attack against its most irrepressible and it’s hard to see home advantage counting for much.
The German has yet to have the opportunity to work with key players like captain Jordan Henderson (broken foot) or striker Daniel Sturridge. “He is not at 100 per cent and I don’t know what I will do tomorrow”, said Klopp. I heard no bad words about him.
Sturridge has declared himself fit for the Saturday night trip to his first club after more than a month on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Aguero returned to full training this week and is keen to feature when Liverpool visit the Etihad Stadium.
“We don’t know about (the fitness of) Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Wilfried Bony and so on”.
Manchester City’s Gael Clichy has heaped praise on Sterling, backing the youngster to continue his impressive form in future.
The weekend heavyweight encounter in the Premier League between Manchester City and Liverpool will see Raheem Sterling face his former club. Liverpool though have struggled at the Ethiad and havent won there since a 3-2 victory back in 2008. Despite missing a chunk of games already, Benteke has still managed four goals and continues to impress with his performances. Only one of the 12 league goals conceded by Quique Flores’s side so far has been scored before half time, suggesting that it might take a while for United to find a way past the home defence.
The injury-prone England global missed the start of the season after returning from hip surgery and has made just three appearances this campaign.
City was stunned by bottom-dwellers Aston Villa as the latter forced them to a goalless draw at the Villa Park on November 8th before the global break, as per SkySports.
Only Joe Hart has kept more clean sheets than Simon Mignolet in 2014, with the Englishman’s 14 shutouts beating the Belgian’s 13. “Jurgen Klopp has come in and he is a great addition to the Premier League”.
