Liverpool handed huge injury boost as Iraola confirms key star is fit for Man City

Andoni Iraola confirms Jeremy Jacquet is fit to face Man City

Avoiding a defensive crisis ensures Liverpool can maintain their established structure in the backline as they look to extend their unbeaten start to the domestic campaign at Anfield.

Jacquet’s clearance to play ensures the Reds can field their first-choice central defensive pairing against Manchester City’s formidable attack.

Since his summer transfer to Merseyside, the young Frenchman has established himself as an indispensable presence next to captain Virgil van Dijk.

The pair have provided the bedrock of Liverpool’s strong defence this season, making his presence vital for Sunday’s tactical setup.

With Liverpool looking to extend their unbeaten run, Jacquet’s recovery could prove crucial as Iraola attempts to overcome the absence of two key forwards and secure a positive result against the league leaders.
