Keeping the Belgian quiet is easier said than done, but the midfielder is City’s key creative spark, along with David Silva, and Klopp will want to nullify his impact on the game.

To do this, Georginio Wijnaldum will likely play a pivotal role. De Bruyne loves to occupy the half-spaces between the left-back and the left centre-back, and Liverpool’s midfield will need to block his path for through balls and crosses. Gini has the energy to track the City star and make life difficult for him.
