Liverpool vs Manchester City team news: Sterling dropped for Champions League clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has dropped Raheem Sterling for Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Liverpool.

The England international won't get the opportunity to start against his former club, with Sterling reduced to a role on the bench at Anfield.

Kevin De Bruyne is expected to start on the right flank, with Ilkay Gundogan in a central attacking midfield role.

Gabriel Jesus gets the nod up top, with Sergio Aguero not available because of a knee injury.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, has made two changes from the squad that earned a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace this past weekend.
