Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp explains benching Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson vs Man City


The German head coach also played down the idea that Sunday’s fixture was a Premier League title decider. “Title race decider? I don’t know who thought that up,” Klopp said. “It’s really early, we could go through all the possible scenarios. Whatever the result, I don’t think anybody should open the bottles of champagne.”

Liverpool starting XI: Kelleher; Bradley, Quansah, Van Dijk, Gomez; Endo, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister; Diaz, Nunez, Elliott.
