“It’s time…” – Andoni Iraola urged to make unprecedented team selection for Man City showdown

Andoni Iraola has been advised to hand one Liverpool player their first Premier League start in this afternoon’s blockbuster showdown at home to Manchester City.

Following the extended international break, the Reds resume their season with a true grudge match against a club who’ve recently been found guilty of 114 breaches of the English top flight’s financial rules.

With Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak ruled out through injury, the Basque will be forced to make some alterations to his attack for today’s fixture, and that could also require a reshuffle elsewhere on the pitch.
