Green knows the Citizens' Erling Haaland will be eager to get back to competition after the Norwegian missed out on the World Cup. The 22-year-old has 23 goals in 18 matches since coming over from Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool will be missing key defenders in the middle.

Mohamed Salah has 14 goals and five assists in 21 matches overall, and Roberto Firmino has scored nine goals.
