Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has shared what Jurgen Klopp told the Reds squad about the Manchester City clash.

The Anfield forward was speaking to Sky Sports ahead of Sunday’s huge Premier League fixture at the Etihad.

Liverpool and City lock horns in a game which could go a long way towards deciding this season’s champion.

The Reds and the Citizens have dominated the league since 2018 and one of them looks set to win this season too.

City won the title in 2018, 2019 and 2021, while Liverpool lifted the trophy in 2020.

This season, the two are once again way ahead of the competition.

Third-placed Chelsea sit 13 points behind the Reds, while Spurs and Arsenal are a further five points back.

Liverpool can move to the top of the Premier League on Sunday evening if they beat Pep Guardiola’s side.

It would be a remarkable turnaround, considering the Reds were 14 points behind City in mid-January.

However, victory for the hosts would see them establish a four-point gap at the summit.

“We know how to play big games”

On Sky Sports, Salah shared his thoughts on the match and also revealed what Klopp told the team.

“They are a point ahead and play at home,” he said. “I think that gives them more of an advantage.

“However, we are experienced players now and we’ve played together for four or five years. We know how to play big games.

“Hopefully we will win the next game but if you ask me about advantage, they have more of an advantage because they are a point ahead and are at home.

He added: “The most important thing for us is not to lose the game, but if we lose the gap is going to be bigger.

“The manager talked to us today and just said enjoy the moment and just go for it.”
