"It's a big game Sunday. Man City are outstanding. They lost at PSG, and I said they would strike back, but I've seen it back, and they don't have to. They didn't use their chances, and PSG scored. How Man City dominated says a lot of their quality. We have to play properly. It's Anfield and...we're really looking forward to it. I can say that."
