Liverpool to Face Manchester City Without Ibrahima Konate
Naijawebinfo reports that Liverpool will host Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday, with the Reds looking to extend their lead over the reigning champions.
A win for Liverpool would open up an 11-point gap between the two teams, making it a crucial match for both sides.
However, Liverpool will be without Ibrahima Konate, who suffered an injury during their Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening. The French defender is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
Konate expressed his disappointment on social media, saying it’s frustrating to have sustained the injury. He also vowed to work hard and come back stronger.
In the meantime, former Premier League player Chris Sutton has predicted a favorable outcome for Liverpool. He believes the Reds have the potential to beat Manchester City, citing their recent success against Real Madrid.
Sutton praised Liverpool’s midfield, saying it looks robust and that Curtis Jones shone in their recent match. He predicts a high-intensity game, which could be challenging for Manchester City.
A win for Liverpool would not only extend their lead over Manchester City but also mark a significant moment in their season. Sutton is predicting a scoreline of 4-1 in favor of Liverpool, saying it would be a fantastic week and an even better campaign.
