Manchester City will be without their number one goalkeeper when they travel to Anfield to meet Jurgen Klopp’s table-topping Reds on Sunday

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed that goalkeeper Ederson will miss a huge Premier League encounter against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday through injury.

The Premier League’s top two sides are due to meet for the first time this season at the weekend, with six points currently separating them in the table.

Liverpool have gained a healthy advantage after winning 10 of their first 11 fixtures, but City can make up significant ground with a win on Merseyside.

Guardiola issued an update on Ederson’s fitness at a press conference on Friday, before insisting Bravo is more than capable of filling the void left by a key performer.
