With the battle Manchester City-Liverpool the curtain falls on the round of 16 of the English League Cup. The two teams cross swords tomorrow night (22/12, 22:00) at “Etihad” to claim the last ticket for the quarter-finals of the competition. One of the two big favorites will be forced out of the race for the trophy early and their encounter is expected to be exciting.
The return to inter-club competitions, after the end of the World Cup, finds both teams incomplete. THE Pep Guardiola will not have Julian Alvarez, who is in Argentina to celebrate winning the World Cup, while it remains unknown whether the rest of the internationals (Phil Foden, Jack Grealis, Kyle Walker, Anderson, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Diaz, Joao Cancelo).
On the other hand, his team Jurgen Klopp still has the well-known losses due to injuries, those of Luis Diaz, Diogo Zota and Artur Melo, while Ibrahima Konate, who competed in the World Cup final, will also be absent. The presence of Virgil van Dijk, Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold is questionable.
The battle between Haaland and Salah is expected to be impressive and promising. It remains to be seen if the two teams will be affected by the above absences, or if the quality of the rosters will manage to cover them, so that we can watch a derby full of goals and tension.
