Liverpool vs Man City confirmed team news: Van Dijk injured, Salah starts, Silva benched
VIRGIL VAN DIJK misses out for Liverpool with injury.
Alejandro Moreno: Van Dijk doesn't solve Liverpool's issues
Van Dijk trained earlier in the week but misses out with a tight hamstring.
It means Dejan Lovren comes in to replace the Dutchman. Elsewhere, Mohamed Salah and Georginio Wijnaldum also start with Adam Lallana and James Milner dropping to the bench.
Loris Karius is preferred over Simon Mignolet in goal.
For City, Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi and Fabian Delph return to the defence following the midweek win over Bristol City 2-1 in the EFL Cup.
Fernandinho takes the place of Yaya Toure, while Sergio Aguero also starts.
