# Liverpool: Fans react to Man City news ahead of Reds clash

**Liverpool fans believe Manchester City pair John Stones and Aymeric Laporte will end up being available for their Premier League clash next weekend, after reports ruled the pair out until the international break.**

Jurgen Klopp’s side return to league action on Saturday, making the trip to Brentford after seeing off Norwich City in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Liverpool may have one eye on their crucial meeting with City at Anfield on October 3rd, however, in what could be a key game in the title race.

While the Reds suffered terrible luck with injuries to centre-backs last season, it’s now City who are struggling in that department.

According to [*The Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10016877/Manchester-City-handed-huge-blow-John-Stones-Aymeric-Laporte-two-weeks.html) \[via [*The Anfield Buzz*](https://twitter.com/TheAnfieldBuzz/status/1440648647549468682?s=20) on Twitter\], both Stones and Laporte will miss the match through injury, meaning Nathan Ake may have to partner Ruben Dias in defence.
