Manchester City can waste no time in bouncing back from the two points dropped against Chelsea in their last Premier League thriller with the visit of Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium this weekend.

A Liverpool win would see the side leapfrog Manchester City in the Premier League table and Guardiola isn't helped by a lengthy list of injury worries going into the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Here's who both sides could be without for the clash.
