Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says Lazar Markovic and Alberto Moreno are available for Monday's meeting with Manchester City.

Rodgers confirmed that the Serbian and the Spaniard are both in contention for the journey to the Etihad Stadium.

"Markovic will come into the squad," explained the boss initially. "He has been excellent in training and has worked very hard to come back."

Asked specifically about Moreno, he continued: "He'll be in the squad, he comes in fit. He's a young player that is very dynamic going forward.

"He gives us balance - he has got a great left foot, passes it well and sees the pass early. He gets forward on the outside and can penetrate on the inside.

"He's very hungry and keen to learn; he has got good experience and comes in as a winner. He won the Europa League last year so he comes in with a good mentality. At 22, he has still got a lot of development in him. He'll pick up the pace very quickly.

"He comes in as a regular starter from Sevilla so I expect him to show over the coming years that he's a really attacking player that will fit Liverpool perfectly."
