Pep Guardiola has said that he is not afraid of Liverpool ahead of Manchester City’s trip to Anfield next Sunday – despite his side losing their last three encounters with Jurgen Klopp’s men.
City were beaten twice by Liverpool in the quarterfinals of last season’s Champions League, while they also lost 4-3 at Anfield in the Premier League in January.
They are winless at Anfield since May 2003 – a run of 17 games in all competitions -- but Guardiola said he expects his team to fight for a result.
“I believe too much in that team, in those guys,” he said. “I know how they fight. Go to Anfield, win, lose, whatever. It’s a long time ago Man City was able to win at Anfield. What I want to see is the team alive, and we are alive.
“If they beat us three times, they are a good side. They lost the first game in the Carabao Cup [against Chelsea last week] but at Anfield they score a lot of goals, they don’t concede.
“Now it’s Hoffenheim [on Tuesday in the Champions League], and after that we are going to prepare [for Liverpool], and after that we’re going to prepare for Burnley. At the end, we’re going to see what happened at the end of the season.”
