When we played this lot at Anfield earlier on in the season we tried to play it cautious and contain them and imo we came off second best, we were lucky to get the draw, particularly when they missed that pen.
All our best performances against City have been when we have really gone after them and I hope we do the same tomorrow, even if we lose the very fact we went there with the intention of slugging it out with them toe to toe would show that we mean business for the rest of the season.
They don't like defending, let's make them defend.
Fernandinho is 33 and is just back from injury, KDB is just back from injury and David Silva turns 33 next Wednesday, that is their 'go-to' midfield, let's play Klopp ball and run the legs off them.

I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now, but at least it's a lot simpler for them, do or die. What do we do though? Do we go back to our more compact style of play that we've played this season, try to capitalise on a mistake that they will inevitably make, or go at them with everything we have like we did vs. Arsenal and fight fire with fire? To be honest I don't know which I would prefer, but I think we'll go for the more defensive option.
I expect we'll see the team Lallana posted above. Considering Hendo was rested for the most part of the Arsenal game, I expect he'll start along with Wijnaldum, who was also taken off. Don't know who the third midfielder will be. Defence and attack pick themselves.
You really can't call this game, anything could happen. I know one thing though, whatever we do, we most definitely, under any circumstances, must NOT LOSE!

Totally agree, if you sit back and defend against City then you hand all of the initiative to them and they will be all over us like a rash. Go at them like we did in the Champions League last season and we can break them. When we played them at Anfield we weren't at our best but we are playing great stuff now and the team is super confident. 3-1 us.
