Take a look at a gallery from Liverpool’s training session on Thursday as preparation for this weekend’s trip to Manchester City stepped up. 

The Reds travel to take on Pep Guardiola’s outfit in Premier League action on Saturday lunchtime, with kick-off at Etihad Stadium set for 12.30pm GMT. 

Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Ibrahima Konate and Joe Gomez – who all missed the victory over Brentford last time out – were among the returnees as Liverpool’s internationals were back on Merseyside. Jürgen Klopp’s squad were put to work at their AXA Training Centre base in Kirkby – check out how the session unfolded in the images below.
