Manchester City have been in fine form of late, and sit at the top of the league table. They are three points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, with a game in hand.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have struggled with injuries. They lost starting centre-backs Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez to long-term injuries earlier this season, while centre-back Joel Matip also suffered a serious injury recently.

This has resulted in Liverpool utilizing midfielders Fabinho and Jordan Henderson at the centre-back position, while youngsters Rhys Williams and Nathaniel Phillips have also been used.

As a result, Liverpool signed centre-backs Ozan Kabak and Ben Davies in January, despite reports that the club would not be active during the winter transfer window.

Kabak joins Liverpool on an initial loan deal from Schalke, while Davies has been signed on a permanent deal from Championship side Preston North End.

Liverpool are currently 4th in the league table, and have not been at their fluent best. Summer signings, Thiago Alcántara, Diogo Jota and Kostas Tsimikas have all missed chunks of the season due to various injuries.

Jürgen Klopp’s men are seven points behind Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
