Gabriel Jesus admitted victory over Liverpool this weekend is vital if Manchester City want to claw back the Premier League title.
Jesus made a scoring return from a thigh injury off the bench during Tuesday’s 3-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos.
The Brazilian is in the frame to start against the league leaders and claimed that securing maximum points is crucial, with City currently five adrift of Liverpool having played one game fewer.
‘It's a very important game for us, it's a direct confrontation against the leader of the table,’ Jesus said.
