Naby Keita is back for Manchester City

Great news for Liverpool.

It’s been reported on Saturday night that Naby Keita is fit and available to play against Man City on Sunday.

That news has been broken by Amadou Makadji, who is a Guinean journalist working in Belgium.

He’s confirmed that Keita “trained well” on Saturday.

Moreover, he’s confirmed Keita will be in Jurgen Klopp’s squad on Sunday.

Fears over Keita’s fitness were triggered in midweek in the Champions League.

The Liverpool midfielder was taken to hospital after he suffered a back injury against Napoli.

Liverpool lost that match 1-0.

Liverpool team news vs Manchester City

In the battle of the Brazilian goalkeepers, Alisson will start his ninth game for Liverpool. He’ll be hoping to add to his 4 clean sheets.

Virgil van Dijk is the leader at the back and his partnership with Joe Gomez will be sorely tested here.

Neither Sadio Mane nor Mo Salah have hit the heights of last season but Roberto Firmino has kept up his good form.

The three of them scored 7 goals agaisnt Manchester City last season so can they add to that here?

If they can’t they may call on their super sub Daniel Sturridge again.

He’s scored against West Ham, PSG, Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and Chelsea in the League already this season and would love to get a goal against the club he began his career with.
