Has a big-name player been dropped by Pep Guardiola for today’s clash with Liverpool? | OneFootball

Ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Liverpool has Pep Guardiola dropped a big-name player for today’s match? A new report indicates that Ederson has been dropped for today’s match at Anfield. The report states that Stefan Ortega is set to start in goal for the world champions. If the new report is correct that is a massive call by Pep Guardiola for today’s match.

City Xtra has relayed a report from City Xtra Português via X that Ederson has been dropped for today’s massive match. The report indicates that Stefan Ortega is set to start for Manchester City at Anfield. Official confirmation of the starting lineups is due an hour and 15 minutes before kick-off. Once the team sheets are released the situation with who starts in goal for City will be officially known.

If Ederson has been dropped to the bench for today’s match that is a massive call by Pep Guardiola. The Brazilian international is City’s number-one keeper and performed well this season. But he was poor during City’s 3-all draw with Feyenoord last Tuesday evening. He was at fault for at least one, if not two, of Feyenoord’s goals in their comeback at the Etihad. If Ederson has been dropped for Ortega then Pep Guardiola has decided that a change of keepers is necessary for today’s match.

Official confirmation of Manchester City’s starting lineup is due in under an hour. But based on the new report form City Xtra Português it appears that Pep Guardiola has made big call for today’s match. If he has that does give the impression that the City manager is making a statement with his team selection for today’s match.
