Manchester United team news LIVE: Press conference updates as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer speaks ahead of Everton game

If Alexander-Arnold is absent, James Milner is likely to continue to deputise at right back and is set to start against his former team.

Roberto Firmino is also in contention after returning in the 5-1 win over Porto, in which he came off the bench to score two goals late on.

Virgil van Dijk is yet to play three matches in a week since returning from his serious knee injury but is expected to stay in the team for such an important match.

Curtis Jones, meanwhile, could be handed another start for the Reds after impressing at both Brentford and Porto, where he was man of the match on Tuesday night.

Jurgen Klopp is set to give an update on Trent Alexander-Arnold today but barring a late fitness boost the full-back is not expected to be involved on Saturday.

Alexander-Arnold missed the 5-1 win away to Porto on Tuesday and Klopp confirmed afterwards that both he and midfielder Thiago are unlikely to feature.

“No,” Klopp said when asked if he had an update on the pair following the Champions League match.

“No ‘news’ means they are doing well but they won’t have enough time for being back against City, but I expect them both to be back after the international break.

“But we have a good team so we still have solutions and we have to use them and yeah, after the international break the boys will be back I think.”

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp is set to address the media this afternoon ahead of his team’s Premier League match against Manchester City on Sunday.

The manager is expected to reflect upon the Reds’ victory over Porto in the Champions League from earlier this week, while previewing the meeting with Man City and offering updates on the fitness of some key players. On Tuesday, Liverpool were 5-1 winners away to Porto, with Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino both scoring twice and Sadio Mane rounding out the result. That win extended the side’s unbeaten run at the start of this new season to nine games.

Upcoming opponents Man City have stuttered here and there since the beginning of their campaign, including on Tuesday evening when they were beaten 2-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in the French capital, but Pep Guardiola’s players achieved an impressive 1-0 win against Chelsea in their most recent Premier League outing, dragging themselves into the title race. They sit second in the table on 13 points, one behind leaders Liverpool, who could be without Trent Alexander-Arnold again after his absence in Paris, while Klopp should reveal whether or not Thiago Alcantara can return this weekend from his recent calf injury.
