Eleven players could miss Liverpool vs Man City showdown after fresh injury twist in Champions League

Liverpool could be without their first two right-back options for the visit of Manchester City after suffering two injury blows against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

On Sunday, they welcome a City side in disarray after collapsing from 3-0 up against Feyenoord to draw 3-3 on Tuesday and extend the winless run to six games.

Captain Ilkay Gundogan admits that City will be out of the Premier League title race if Liverpool beat them at Anfield and move 11 points clear, while Pep Guardiola has admitted similar.

Jeremy Doku is back in training, however he was not in the squad in the Champions League and will be doubtful to feature at Anfield.
