Liverpool take on Manchester City on Saturday in a crucial Premier League tie that could see the Reds end the weekend at the top of the table providing they secure all three points. Jurgen Klopp has one of the best records against Pep Guardiola’s City side but it hasn’t always gone to plan. Back in September 2017, Liverpool were trashed 5-0 at the Etihad as Sadio Mane was given his marching orders for a high boot on Ederson. Here, Express Sport takes a look at where those Liverpool players are today.<\/p>\n

Simon Mignolet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between the sticks on that fateful night was Simon Mignolet. Despite conceding five goals it was hardly his fault. The Belgian was hung out to dry by some hapless defending and even made some decent saves during the game to ensure the scoreline didn’t reach double digits. Nowadays, he plys his trade in his homeland of Belgium for Club Brugge where he has been since 2019 after being ousted from Liverpool’s starting XI by Allison Becker.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of only three players that are still in Liverpool’s squad today. The Englishman has gone on to have much better performances than he did back in September 2017 and is now a staple of Jurgen Klopp’s side in 2023.<\/p>\n

Joel Matip<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joel Matip is also still\u00a0<\/strong>a Liverpool player but for how much longer\u00a0<\/strong>is unclear. The German centre-back has visibly slowed down over the last couple of seasons and has been linked with a move away from Anfield in the January transfer window. His contract with the Reds expires next summer.<\/p>\n

Ragnar Klavan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lining up next to Matip was Ragnar Klavan, who is somewhat of a cult hero in Liverpool. During a brief two-year spell with the Reds, he did everything asked of him and worked his socks off for the badge. But in the end, Klopp’s system evolved and he was eventually sold to Serie A side Caligari in 2018. After three years spent mostly on the sidelines in Italy, Klavan returned to his native Estonia to play for\u00a0Paide Linnameeskond and then\u00a0JK Tallinna Kalev where he is both a player and club president today.<\/p>\n

Alberto Moreno<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alberto Moreno came to Liverpool as one of the most promising young left-backs in the world but has so far failed to live up to his lofty expectations. Now 31 years old, Moreno sits on the bench for Villareal.<\/p>\n

Jordan Henderson<\/strong><\/p>\n

After an impressive 12-year stint with Liverpool, Jordan Henderson joined the exodus of former Premier League players signing lucrative deals in Saudi Arabia. The Englishman now earns a reported eye-watering \u00a3700,000 a week playing for Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq.<\/p>\n
