The winger returned to action from the bench against Sparta Prague on Thursday, after hamstring problems picked up at the Africa Cup of Nations meant he had played just 45 minutes for the Reds since New Year’s Day.

His return on Sunday is timely for Jurgen Klopp, albeit it remains to be seen how sharp the Egyptian is. Salah has recorded 11 goals and six assists for Liverpool in 19 matches versus Man City, providing a goal contribution in each of his last seven Premier League games against them.

Redknapp added: “I can’t call this! City are playing so well and are just such an amazing side. However, I can’t bet
