Manchester City hosts Liverpool in a high-stakes game near the top of the Premier League later today. City knows that a win over Liverpool will move the team to within four points of the Gunners, while a win for Liverpool would put Arne Slot's men five points behind the league leader.

City does not have too many injury concerns going into the game, but one of them does surround the team's best midfielder – Rodri. He has not categorically been ruled out of the game against Liverpool but it seems as though there is a good chance he will be missing.

Rayan Cherki impressed in last weekend's win over Bournemouth, but Tijjani Reijnders might provide more stability against an opponent as dangerous as Liverpool.
