Liverpool vs Manchester City: Liverpool skipper said: “There’s no doubt that today’s game is our biggest of the season so far. The Premier League table tells us this, recent history and the aims of the two clubs tells us this.”
“As an opponent, Manchester City are as strong as they come and we welcome them to Anfield in the knowledge that having got a great result at Chelsea last weekend they will be looking for another one today.”
“City’s record under Pep Guardiola speaks for itself. From a Liverpool perspective, they set the standards that we had to live up to before we could become champions and any team which wants to win the league this season will know that their chances of doing so will be maximised if they finish above City. ”

Notably, Merseyside club has failed to score a non-penalty goal in each of their last three meetings with Manchester City, but their in-form forwards will be confident of ending that run at Anfield.
