• THE EXPLANATION

  Right after announcing their starting lineup on X, Liverpool confirmed that Nunez has been ruled out of the clash due to illness. The Uruguayan forward, who was handed his first Premier League start of the 2024-25 season against the Cherries, has appeared in six matches across all competitions thus far and managed to score just once.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  With Manchester City playing out a 1-1 draw against Newcastle earlier on Saturday, Slot's men have a golden opportunity to climb to the top of the league table for the time this season with a win at Molineux Stadium.
