James Milner is hoping to return from injury in time for Liverpool’s trip to face Premier League leaders Manchester City, live on Sky Sports.

Milner missed Liverpool's 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace last Sunday - Jurgen Klopp's first loss since taking charge at Anfield - because of a hamstring problem. 

The injury also forced Milner to withdraw from Roy Hodgson's England squad for the international friendlies with Spain and France.

However, Milner is optimistic he will be in contention for the clash against his former club at the Etihad Stadium on November 21. 

"It's always disappointing to miss any games - and obviously missing last weekend and the England games is disappointing," the 29-year-old told the club's official website.

"It shouldn't be too long and hopefully I'll be back for the next game, but we'll have to wait and see.

"You never like to put a timeframe on it because it's a hamstring and they're always difficult and a bit unpredictable, but hopefully I'll be alright.
