Liverpool don’t fear Man City: Salah

LIVERPOOL: Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah insisted Liverpool do not fear runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City ahead of their blockbuster Champions League tie.

It will be an all-English affair when Liverpool and Premier League champions-elect Man chester City go head-to-head in the quarterfinals of Europe’s elite club competition. City are 16 points clear atop the table and 18 ahead of third-placed Liverpool in the Premier League but Juergen Klopp’s men are not daunted by the task ahead, having been the only side to beat Pep Guardiola’s team in the league this term.

Salah said: “I don’t believe that City have always been superior to other clubs this season in the English Premier League — despite what everyone says. We have beaten them for a start.

The Champions League always depends on the draw, but we don’t fear any rival, whoever they are. We’re in the quarterfinals and have the same chances

of winning as each of the other seven teams.”

Salah, whose Liverpool host Man City at Anfield on April 4 before travelling to Manchester for the return leg six days later, added: “There are many big clubs still in the competition but you have to remember Liverpool are a great club in Europe too. In these knockout ties, anything can happen.”
