Paul Merson warns Liverpool defender Joe Gomez that he will 'struggle' to contain Man City pair Phil Foden and Jack Grealish on Sunday... with the England defender expected to continue at right back at Anfield in Trent Alexander-Arnold's absence

Paul Merson has tipped Liverpool's Joe Gomez to struggle against Manchester City on Sunday.

Jurgen Klopp's Reds have displayed poor form this season and currently lie 10th in the Premier League, already 13 points behind reigning champions and title favourites City.

Merson, who predicted a 3-1 away win for Pep Guardiola's side, told Sportskeeda that centre half Gomez - filling in at right back in the absence of the injured Trent Alexander-Arnold - could be tormented by attackers Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.
