ACM) Raheem Sterling (7.5) – Was integral to Liverpool’s strong opening half an hour, when he was able to target the left hand side of the City defence and cause some real problems.
SC) Daniel Sturridge (7) – Sturridge played well, despite his side’s defeat, working hard and looking to create something out of nothing – as he did with a fine cross for the late consolation.
Sub) Lazar Markovic (6.5) – A couple of flashes of inspiration and pace, but it was a tough situation in to which Markovic was thrown for his debut.
