Joe Gomez (7): he was better as a center half than as a right back.

Lovren Dejan (8): he was very lucky not to earn a penalty after he challenged Sergio Aguero, he tackled Gabriel Jesus in a good way.

Virgil van Dijk (7): he almost made Liverpool lost out of points after he tackled Sane which earned Man City a penalty kick.
