After fielding a strong XI vs. Villarreal, #LCFC played arguably their “starting XI” for the season against Man City — aside from missing a replacement CB for Fofana, with Amartey starting at RCB.
It was a 4-2-3-1, Maddison (#10) behind Vardy — pivot: Ndidi/Tielemans.

The same system (3-4-1-2) and personnel as the WBA game for #LCFC, which was to be expected.
The pressing structure (4-4-2) remained the same - Maddison as the LM/Castagne (RM), outlining Rodgers’ intent to implement this in/out possession setup vs. any team & shape.
