Gabriel Jesus and Phil Foden were recalled to Manchester City’s starting line-up for Sunday’s Premier League clash against Liverpool, with the Reds making three changes.

Brazil international Jesus made his first league start since City’s New Year’s Day win against Arsenal in place of the benched Riyad Mahrez.

Foden made an instant impact from the substitutes’ bench by assisting Kevin De Bruyne’s winner against Atletico Madrid in midweek and was rewarded with a place in the XI.

He had scored in each of his past three top-flight games against Liverpool, including a goal in October’s 2-2 draw at Anfield in the reverse fixture.

Kyle Walker was also included from the beginning, with Ilkay Gundogan and Nathan Ake the other two players to make way from City’s European win against Atletico.

Ruben Dias missed out through injury as expected, meaning John Stones again partnered Aymeric Laporte in the heart of defence at the Etihad Stadium.
