Mohamed Salah's fitness issues
Liverpool have been brilliant this season and the player who has captured all hearts and performed beyond all expectations for them has been Mohamed Salah. While Liverpool almost had a perfect night at Anfield last week, one thing which caused endless worry to the fans and manager was the sight of Salah limping off in the second half.

Ever since then, the Egyptian forward has been in a race against time to be fit for tonight's match. Although Salah might well be starting for The Reds, he will not be 100% fit and that might be a huge relief for Manchester City's backline.
While Liverpool looked absolutely unstoppable in the first half they were on the backfoot for most of the second half at Anfield after Salah's substitution. With Andrew Robertson also recovering from a minor calf injury, City will be looking to make the most of Liverpool's injury issues.
There is a marked difference in how Liverpool plays with and without Salah.
