Jamie Carragher has urged Liverpool players and fans not to worry too much about Manchester City’s form ahead of their Premier League title clash. The champions finished within two points of Jurgen Klopp’s top-flight Masters after beating Brentford last night and with a game in hand the Reds will now rely on Pep Guardiola’s side to secure a point.But as the former Anfield defender pointed out on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, we have the opportunity to attack City’s men head-on next month, just as Arsenal did on Easter Sunday.
“I think there will be a bit of an uncomfortable position from Liverpool and Arsenal’s perspective about ‘[sigh] City and they’ll come back and go on for the long haul’, but both Arsenal and Liverpool have to play,” Carragher said.
Against the city.”To win the league you have to beat City. The other teams you play can be favorites for most of the matches you play because Arsenal and Liverpool aren’t playing anymore.“I think the players, staff and fans of both teams don’t really care what Manchester City do. Forget the city. When you play a game, get down to business, focus on the game and try to make it last as long as possible. “Who knows what will happen?”We all know how City bounced back in the second half of the season and seeing them on a winning streak isn’t as easy as playing on EA’s lowest difficulty sports.
But Carragher is right to insist that Liverpool must get on with their work in the meantime and keep up the pace until the two sides meet at Anfield on March 10 and there is a chance of catching them.
