Liverpool and Man City line-ups confirmed as Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland start
Diogo Jota starts for Liverpool at Manchester City as Curtis Jones is named in a Premier League team for the first time since September.
Jones was sent off at Tottenham on September 30 and is yet to start a game in the division since due to a three-game suspension and a minor injury issue but the 22-year-old is back in the middle alongside Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
Jota is named off the left for the Reds at the Etihad with Jurgen Klopp opting for the Portugal international over Luis Diaz, who starred for Colombia in South America during the international break. Darwin Nunez and Mohamed Salah complete the front three as Klopp's men go in search of a first Premier League win at Man City since November 2015.

Liverpool have three questions that need answering as Man City change wanted
At the back, Joel Matip partners captain Virgil van Dijk in the centre with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kostas Tsimikas named at right and left-back, respectively.
Tsimikas pulled out of international duty for Greece in midweek sparking fears he was injured for Saturday's game but the defender moved to ease those concerns by revealing he didn't play against France due to the number of bookings he was on ahead of March's European Championships play-off.
Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Szoboszlai, Jones; Salah, Nunez, Jota.
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Endo, Konate, Diaz, Elliott, Gakpo, Gravenberch, Quansah.
