Darwin Nunez is available for Liverpool's clash with Manchester City but the trip to Etihad Stadium comes too soon for Luis Diaz and Thiago Alcantara.

Some came back yesterday – Robbo [Andy Robertson] – but will be in training for the first time today. Again, the doctors and especially the player will decide how does he feel. Klopp continued: “Naby is out, he came back with a muscle injury from the national team. “Next week will be an important week for him; this week he was doing parts of training, next week I think most of the things he can do. We will see today. Then we will see.

LONDON – It is nearing the end of the season and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been plotting ways to win trophies, with his side still in the ...

Now it’s clear that top four is the one thing we can go for. We don’t have a perfect position but it’s possible.” That is a gap where you well and truly start to think it might be over.” For tomorrow City deserve all our attention, we can’t think about the other games. A victory will cut the deficit to five points for a couple of hours at least. “They have to win this game.

A rough stretch, starting with Saturday's game against Manchester City, will define Liverpool's season. The harder work comes after that.

Renard has spent his career traversing the globe in search of a challenge. Then he has to craft a side coherent enough to challenge the best teams in the world. Given the competition, a parade of all that it has achieved under Klopp, all that it has already done, would not be enough to make Liverpool more appealing to Bellingham than Manchester City or Real Madrid. It is not to diminish Scotland’s achievement to suggest this was not a vintage Spain squad. On form, his appearances against Norway and Scotland in the first round of qualifiers should not have been controversial: Joselu has scored 12 goals in 22 games for a struggling Espanyol team this season. It combined them all under a coach who had a clear sense of how he wanted to play, who knew what sort of players he needed, and what he needed them to be able to do. In some areas, it is doubtless still a market leader, but the composite advantage is much smaller. Partly, that is because the idea that teams can be “rebuilt” in short order is a myth. The good news is that the next week brings three games to try to reduce that gap. Universally, though, it is common consensus that the key is Bellingham. There have been times this season when the race to sign Jude Bellingham has taken on a similar air. Every year, in December, the BBC devotes an evening of programming to one of Britain’s longest-running broadcasting traditions.

Erling Haaland could feature for Manchester City in Saturday's crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool as he battles to recover from a groin injury.

“We’ve scored a lot of goals this season. The last training is at 4 p.m. But in the past, we always scored a lot of goals.” But after a series of title fights, Liverpool head to the Etihad 19 points adrift of Guardiola’s men, down in sixth place. City and Liverpool have finished as the Premier League’s top two in three of the past four seasons. “Erling is recovering.

Liverpool's trip to the Etihad begins a daunting week for Klopp's men as they travel to Chelsea on Tuesday and then host league leaders Arsenal at Anfield ...

You want to play these games; we play City, Chelsea and Arsenal every season but in one week is pretty special.” “Top four is the one thing we really can go for. The game before was world-class,” said Klopp on his side’s inconsistency.

“We have to show up and really go for it,” was the message from Jürgen Klopp ahead of Liverpool's Premier League trip to Manchester City.

In the other games, we performed better, so that’s the easy explanation. In the end, we missed the penalty. We are not dumb, we know the last game we played in Madrid was not a good game, the game before was Bournemouth, not a good game. We had an awful lot of chances against Nottingham Forest – didn’t play a super game, but had an awful lot of chances. A lot of talk now, but in the end it is all about how we perform, how we get into this mood – a chasing mood – and go from there. Now we go 1-0 down and everything changes in the other direction. I was ready and I’m ready again, that’s the cool part of it – you need a few days to just let it settle and then go again. We have to win a lot of games but the more games we win, the more pressure we can make on other teams above us in the table. Last year, nearly four trophies and then this year, early, clear this trophy is gone and then we go out there and we go out there. I have no problem with getting knocked out by Real Madrid – not that I wouldn’t be used to it in my career – but you can play and lose there and everything but we should show more than we did that night. Most of the boys are healthy and let’s try and help them and use them and bring them in the best possible shape and let’s go. Yeah, super-important game, that’s the one thing that’s not different to all the other years because obviously for us super-important, for City super-important.

The 'draw no bet' selection at 11/8 with Sky Bet, meaning stakes are refunded if the game is a draw looks a cracking way to oppose Spurs and get Sean Dyche's improving side in the book. He is 7/4 with Sky Bet to register just one shot at The Amex - he's had five in his last two starts - and a player with that kind of expected goals return shouldn't be 66/1 to score first. Pre-Qatar there were 2.87 goals per game but in January to March there has been a big drop to 2.49 goals per game across all matches in the Premier League. In 10 games against the traditional 'big six' and Brighton this season, Newcastle's games have averaged just 1.9 total goals per-90 with seven of those falling under the 2.5 goals line and three of those matches ending 0-0. There is a unique atmosphere for a night game at the great old ground that certainly is a factor to consider when weighing up probabilities for a match outcome. And in truth, that's exactly what they are with odds of just 4/1 available on them finishing in the Champions League spots and 4/6 on them for a top-six finish. Whenever Villa are fancied to grab a result on the road, backing Emiliano Martinez to be carded is certainly a savvy way of nicking a fantastic price. I wouldn't be banging down the door to take the 6/4 with Sky Bet for a home win here, though. But I'm getting greedy and will be focusing on Gibbs-White to play a huge role in sparking the game into life. Bournemouth are all the rage in the markets at 6/4 with Sky Bet to make a mockery of league positions and beat ninth-placed Fulham, who have taken 15 more points than the Cherries this season. As always, Fulham will be tough to beat with him patrolling things as showcased by their record of losing just twice this season from 19 fixtures against teams outside the top five in the Premier League. Harrison has played all but nine minutes of the four games since Gracia took charge, posting a healthy average of 2.75 touches in the box per-90 and registering six shots.

[Guardiola](https://www.mancity.com/players/pep-guardiola) insists that ‘when you are a grandfather, that’s nice’ but to keep competitive ‘you have to prove it every single day’. It’s the most awful sentence. “The only thing I believe is don’t complain and find a solution and try to avoid it. “You have to prove it every single day, again and again and again. “For the memories when you are a grandfather it’s nice but the reality, the people tomorrow will come to the Etihad Stadium and they won’t think about what we have done in the past. “I hear sometimes players or managers say ‘I don’t have to show anything or demonstrate anything because of what I have done in the past’.

Equally with Foden also absent there could be something of a slog for City to get back to their best without Haaland. Tuesday will bring a trip to Chelsea whilst on Sunday they will welcome Arsenal to Anfield; more than just top four, these games could also dictate who wins the Premier League title. Manchester City: Having not been pictured in training on Thursday, Haaland is emerging as a potential doubt, one which would bring with it major headaches for Guardiola at a decisive stage of the season. The first Premier League game of the weekend could yet be a decisive one in the title race; if Pep Guardiola's side were to win then the pressure would be firmly on Arsenal. The former will miss the game after an operation on his appendix, the latter is a doubt after withdrawing from international duty with Norway. A familiar foe lies in wait for Manchester City as they return from the international break, with Liverpool ready to deal an almighty blow to the title hopes of their great rivals.

Manchester City vs Liverpool: Anything other than a win for City would give Arsenal the chance to extend its lead and move ever closer to its first league ...

It has won its last six, but is about to embark on a critical period of games. The priority for the Merseyside club, however, is to secure a top-four finish and, with it, qualification for next season’s Champions League. The most recent of those was last season, which is why Liverpool’s decline has come as such a surprise. For Liverpool, any hopes of challenging at the top disappeared long ago in a troubled campaign, blighted by injuries and inconsistent form. It’s a different story for City, which can still win the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup. Arsenal leads City by eight points heading into the final stretch of the season, having played one game more.

All of a sudden, the Reds found themselves in control, and Darwin Nunez got on the scoresheet to make it 4-2 in the 87th minute. After bringing down Robertson's through ball, the Uruguayan powered his effort across goal and into the corner to make it 4-2, but that was all the Reds could conjure late on as they fell to a heavy defeat. The Egyptian latched onto the pass before breezing in front of Kyle Walker, and he managed to curl his shot past Ederson to make it 4-1. But, despite being a man ahead, the Reds were poor at the Etihad, and after 70 minutes City found themselves 4-0 ahead. And 67 minutes in, City grabbed a fourth, this time Julian Álvarez getting on the scoresheet as the Argentine tapped home Riyad Mahrez's cross from close range. In the next eight days, the Reds face City, Arsenal and Chelsea, but with no other competition to focus on, Klopp's side may have a slight advantage.

Manchester City face an anxious wait over star striker Erling Haaland's fitness ahead of their Premier League return against Liverpool on April 1.
