Man City don't go to Liverpool as underdogs - Guardiola

The Premier League champions head to Anfield for the top-of-the-table clash trailing the leaders by six points

Pep Guardiola may believe that Liverpool are “probably the strongest team in the world” but he says Manchester City don’t go to Anfield as underdogs.

City are six points behind the leaders and would face a huge test to catch the Champions League winners if that advantage increased to nine with a defeat on Sunday.

Their hopes were not helped when goalkeeper Ederson joined an injury list that includes Leroy Sane, Aymeric Laporte, Oleksandr Zinchenko and David Silva, while Rodri faces a late fitness test.
