Willy Caballero remains in goal for Manchester City, with Manuel Pellegrini showing faith in Joe Hart's understudy for today's Capital One Cup final against Liverpool.

Otherwise Manchester City are unchanged from the side that beat Dinamo Kiev 3-1 in the Champions League in midweek.

Striker Wilfried Bony and winger Jesus Navas return from injury and are attacking options from the bench.

Meanwhile Jurgen Klopp makes no changes at all - starting the same XI that beat Augsburg 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night.

It means Daniel Sturridge starts in attack alongs Roberto Firmino with Coutino also in the side.

Kolo Toure is on the bench, meaning he and his brother Yaya could be on the field at the same time featuring for opposing teams.

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lucas, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Henderson, Milner, Firmino, Coutinho, Sturridge

Subs: Bogdan, Toure, Benteke, Lallana, Allen, Origi, Flanagan

Man City: Caballero, Sagna, Kompany (C), Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Sterling, Aguero

Subs: Hart, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Navas, Iheanacho, Bony
