Liverpool have won only two of their eight league games and are 10th, but Guardiola said his opinion about them has not been changed by their league position. "The game will be dictated on the pitch, not by the table, because we are in front of them or behind, not because of those kind of things." Guardiola said that Kyle Walker , Kalvin Phillips and John Stones are still sidelined and he does not know if they would be fit to play for England at the World Cup.
