Barcola expected to lead Liverpool’s attack against Manchester City

Barcola is expected to lead Liverpool’s attack against Manchester City in the projected lineup for Sunday’s match at Anfield. The fixture is part of the sixth round of the Premier League and represents a difficult test for the hosts, who will hope to draw on their supporters’ backing as they try to beat the league leaders.

Liverpool sit sixth on 9 points. After the first five rounds, they have two wins and three draws. The club will be looking to close the gap on Manchester City, who lead the standings on 15 points.

Liverpool’s Spanish coach, Andoni Iraola, is expected to field a side built around Barcola. The Reds are also expected to use Wirtz’s movement and the pace of their wide players to make up for the absence of several attacking options. They will also aim to put Manchester City’s defence under pressure from the opening minutes.
