The Reds warmed up for this weekend’s huge game with a slightly nervy 1-0 win over FC Augsburg on Thursday evening.

It means Jurgen Klopp‘s side are through to the last 16 of the Europa League, which was imperative given their struggles in the Premier League.

Sunday’s showdown really is impossible to predict, with both Liverpool and City capable of brilliance and incompetence in equal measure.

The first goal is likely to be crucial, and it could simply be a case of which star players turn up and which ones go missing.

Klopp may well field the same starting lineup that featured against Augsburg, with Lucas Leiva performing admirably in a centre-back role. Kolo Toure replacing him is surely the only potential alteration.

Clinching a first trophy in four years would be enormous for everyone associated with Liverpool Football Club, and it promises to be a tense afternoon at Wembley.
