(The Guardian) There is some concern at Manchester City about the welcome their team bus might receive from Liverpool fans before Sunday’s match. A social media post doing the rounds is urging Liverpool supporters to line the streets around Anfield before Sunday’s game in the way they did before the Champions League quarter-final first leg in 2018, in which the City bus was damaged by bottles and other bits and pieces that were thrown its way. The post doesn’t encourage that sort of behaviour, though, and does not mention the City coach at all, but the club has sought assurances from Liverpool that the coach will be given safe passage to the ground.

(The Guardian) Mo Salah is playing down talk of Liverpool being nailed on for the title if they win on Sunday. He’s been speaking to Sky about the title race: They were talking about that in December last year. Six points, seven points, it’s not much. It’s just three games. It’s too early to talk about the Premier League [title].Perhaps he has a point given how stacked Liverpool’s fixture schedule is in December. If this match was in January perhaps a nine-point lead would look insurmountable.

(The Guardian) If Joel Matip is not fit for Liverpool this weekend, who will Jürgen Klopp pick in his place? Joe Gomez or Dejan Lovren? He’s tended to favour Lovren in recent weeks and I expect he will do so again on Sunday, perhaps because of his experience. When Gomez and Alexander-Arnold have played on the right this season, that side has looked more exposed. Whoever he chooses, City will likely get more chances than they would against the hugely impressive Van Dijk-Matip partnership.

(The Guardian) Merseyside Police have released a statement making it clear that they are aware of the social media post calling on Liverpool fans to line the streets of Anfield with their “pyro and pints” before the match. They seem to be confident the match will go ahead without any bus-bothering trouble, as it did last year: Merseyside Police is working with Liverpool FC and Manchester City ahead of their Premier League match at Anfield on Sunday, 10 November 2019 to ensure fans of both clubs have a safe and enjoyable afternoon.
Superintendent Paul White said: “As with any match, a comprehensive and appropriate policing operation has been put in place ahead of Sunday’s game and we have liaised with both clubs and their supporter groups. We are aware of one poster on social media regarding a bus welcome. The corresponding last fixture ran smoothly and we are working to ensure this game can be enjoyed safely by all as well as minimising any disruption to local residents and roads.
“As with all Premier League fixtures at Anfield, we will have officers on duty at the ground, both uniformed and plain clothed, supported by mobile CCTV, provided by Liverpool City Council, and specialist resources including the Dog Section, mounted police and the National Police Air Service. We will also have a city centre policing plan in place throughout the day. This is standard procedure.
“We know that this will be a busy operation and we hope that fans attending the match will act as ambassadors for their clubs. As usual we would ask fans with tickets to arrive at the ground as early as possible. Fans without tickets should not attend at all; they will not be allowed entry into the stadium.”

(The Guardian) 'Guardiola is the best manager in the world'The Klopp-Guardiola rivalry is certainly no Fergie-Wenger, is it? Jürgen Klopp has been lavishing praise on Manchester City’s manager before Sunday’s match: I couldn’t respect him more. For me he is the best manager in the world. Wherever he goes he has a proper impact on the team. Now he’s at Man City and it’s not too bad. I don’t have a negative relationship with anyone on the sidelines. It might look like that but it is respectful. Very respectful.Klopp also spoke about the concerns City have about the greeting their team bus might receive: If someone at Man City is concerned still, it is our fault. We didn’t throw the bottle but it was one of us. We all need to make sure if doesn’t happen again. It was a long time ago, nothing happened since. If we overstep the line, we cannot do it [the bus greeting] anymore.”

(The Guardian) Klopp was very keen that everyone at Liverpool plays their part in helping his side to victory over Manchester City on Sunday. And he means EVERYBODY! - If you want to climb you have to take top spot where City is. For us, it is obvious the improvements the boys have made [against them]. We have to play our best game, everyone. The guys who sell the hotdogs have to! That’s what I wish for.He also spoke about the emotional impact Sean Cox’s injury had on him. Cox will be at Anfield on Sunday for the first time since being attacked by Roma fans outside the ground in 2018 and suffering life-altering injuries: When it happened, it was the lowest point for me here at Liverpool. Because it should not happen in life or football games. The love Sean and his family have for this club, I hope it has given him strength and power in recovery. How the Liverpool community dealt with this, I hope he feels that. You’ll Never Walk Alone – they sing it and live it. I hope he felt that the whole time. We can help him.

(The Guardian) Ederson is ruled out of Liverpool v Manchester CityPep Guardiola says Ederson is not fit to face Liverpool on Sunday: He’s not able to play. I don’t know [when he’ll be back]. We have another top keeper. Claudio Bravo can do it [play out from the back] too. We won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup thanks to Claudio.

(The Guardian) Here’s some more Pep. He wasn’t happy when the Guardian’s Jamie Jackson asked him a question about whether he can really trust Claudio Bravo when he himself chose to replace him with Ederson after his first season at the club: Why should I doubt any player in my team? Why do you ask these questions? You have to respect this guy, he has won trophies and the Copa América. In his first season the team was not at the top level. All the players in our squad are [there] because we have incredible confidence in them.And on the challenge posed by Liverpool: For me as a manager, last season when we won the league, [Liverpool were] the best contender I ever faced in my career. Right now they are one of the strongest teams in the world. We are going to try to [carefully] follow the plan in this game. When Klopp took over the team they were not a contender but in three or four years he built something marvellous.And is the title-race over if Liverpool win and go nine points clear? - I don’t know. In November it is never the end. The experience in the squad is to fight until the end … on Sunday and in the rest of the games. Liverpool lost only one game last season and none this season … but a lot of situations can happen.

(The Guardian) Here’s the PA Media take on the line-ups: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp went with his tried-and-tested big-game line-up for the visit of Manchester City.
That meant four changes from the Champions League win over Genk with Andy Robertson returning at left-back, Jordan Henderson coming back into midfield and Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane rejoining the forward line.
City made six changes as Claudio Bravo started in goal for the injured Ederson with three of the back four from Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Atalanta altered.
John Stones was picked to partner Fernandinho in the centre of defence with Kyle Walker and Angelino, who was making only his second Premier League start. Rodrigo came into midfield with Sergio Aguero preferred up front to Gabriel Jesus.

(The Guardian) Pep Guardiola has a chat with Sky. He reveals that Rodri is in the team because he seemed fine in training (like, obviously), and that David Silva is on the bench because they didn’t want to put both of them straight into the starting line-up after injury for such a significant game: Our plan? Try to win the game. Run when you don’t have the ball and play when you have the ball. We’ll try to do that. They’re so strong. We know it. I’ve said many times, after winning back to back Premier Leagues we needed to be pushed as well. They are going to help us for the next two, three, four years, help this club understand the level you have to achieve to be up there as long as possible.

(The Guardian) Mo Salah called for the physio during the pre-match warm-up, to deal with some kind of foot-related issue. I’ve heard nothing of a team change, so he is presumably fine...
