Liverpool Vs Manchester City: Community Shield (1(4) - (5) 1) On 4th Aug. 2019 by Omooba77: 5:10pm On May 12, 2019
Sure banker!

All eyes will be on Wembley as English football’s two best teams go head to head in the Community Shield.

As the trophy itself is not exactly coveted by international superstar footballers, getting one over on expected title rivals is perhaps more important on the day for both Liverpool and Manchester City.


One thing is for sure, both managers will be picking their strongest starting line-ups and seeking to lay down a marker for the coming season.

But with a few star names only returning to training this week after Copa America duty, and one or two not scheduled until next week, both teams will be below full strength.

Liverpool’s front three of Sadio Mane, Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino are all doubts, with Mane not yet back at their Melwood training ground and the latter pair only back this week.

Liverpool have not had the best preparations this summer, after securing wins against Tranmere and Bradford the Reds have failed to register a win in their last four pre-season friendlies.

Wins against Tranmere Rovers and Bradford City were followed by defeats to Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Napoli, while Liverpool managed a score draw against Sporting CP.

Jurgen Klopp will be pleased by the return of several stars, with Alisson Becker, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Naby Keita all given an extended break due to international commitments.

The 52-year-old German is expected to field a strong side when the Reds take on Lyon at the Stade de Geneve, as he finalises he preparations to face Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday.

Simon Mignolet is expected to lose his place between the sticks with Alisson expected to start in goal.

Klopp is expected to keep the same back four that shipped three goals against Napoli, with Virgil van Dijk being paired with Joel Matip and flanked by Andy Roberson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and James Milner are expected to start although Klopp has said Keita will hopefully being getting some minutes during the game.

Keita aggravated an adductor injury during the Africa Cup of Nations while playing for Guinea.

The 24-year-old initially picked up this injury during Liverpool’s semi-final Champions League clash against Barcelona at the beginning of May but the club are confident the player has now fully recovered.

Xherdan Shaqiri also picked up an injury on international duty with Switzerland but although not expected to start will also likely get a run out at some point in Geneva.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mohamed Salah are expected to start on the flanks with Roberto Firmino leading the line.

Although Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum will also be looking to stake to play against City when they come off the bench.

Pep Guardiola will take a similar view of Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus, while Riyad Mahrez is not expected back in time to be in contention at all.

Without a recognised striker, Guardiola has been playing Sterling in that role in pre-season, and he is favourite to take the role at Wembley.

Midfield tells a similar story, with Liverpool unwilling to risk Naby Keita and City not prepared to push Fernandinho – who had a knee injury at Copa America – back into action too quickly.

The Scousers’ first-choice defence played against Napoli at the weekend, and City have only the injured Benjamin Mendy missing from their back four.

Both have a Brazil keeper, so Alisson and Ederson are both back this week – they may start, but again their respective managers may see their late return as a good excuse to give a prestige game to Simon Mignolet and Claudio Bravo.

I'm more about the evictions today than I am about this match. Maybe because I know it is sealed for Manchester City FC.

Tonight,
Jeff will realize that when Liverpool says "You Never Walk Alone" they weren't referring to him.

Liverpool should lose, they are playing without some key players.


If only you guys can reason along with me. We can't keep doing things thesame way and expect a different result. We have done this so many times in this country. Where has 2011 Subsidy wahala gotten us

Using social media as our meeting point is better than going on the street ranting 'we no go gree'. Like we won't scamper at the first bullet sound.

Let's discuss this, we already have a good number of patriots ready to give their lives to this REVOLUTION call.
