Manchester City had 16 players at the World Cup – the most of any club – but only Julian Alvarez was involved in the final on Sunday. Pep Guardiola's side played a friendly against Girona recently, but only Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan had played any part in Qatar. That suggests a weakened line-up tonight, although one man who'll be champing at the bit will be Erling Haaland – and that's a frightening prospect for any defence.
Like Norway, Egypt failed to qualify for Qatar, which means Mo Salah will also be raring to go after a month off. Liverpool's talisman often delivers in key games against City, and with Roberto Firmino also watching the World Cup from home, plus Darwin Nunez returning early after Uruguay's group-stage elimination, Jurgen Klopp should have a stronger side at his disposal.
Team news is in for both sides and there's not a lot between them. Salah, Nunez, Thiago and Robertson all start for Liverpool, with Fabinho and Henderson on the bench, while the only youngsters in Man City's team are Cole Palmer and the highly rated Rico Lewis in defence. Stefan Ortega starts in goal.
Kick-off is at 8pm GMT (3pm ET) today, Thursday 22nd December. Read on to find out on how to watch a Manchester City vs Liverpool live stream, wherever you are in the world, on TV, online and on mobile.
