ANFIELD WATCH VERDICT

Laporte and Stones not being available for the clash at Anfield is not ideal for Manchester City. Both centre-backs are solid footballers.

Laporte possesses a current market value of €45 million. Stones on the other hand was named in the 2020-21 PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

Liverpool currently sit in second-place on the Premier League table. Manchester City are sitting in fifth-place on the table.

The Reds have had a slightly better start to the new season in comparison to the Citizens. But, Manchester City are the reigning champions after all.

Therefore, even without Laporte and Stones, they are still a good side. Liverpool will have to be at their best to defeat Manchester City in a couple of weeks time.
