It will be a battle for pride when Premier League champions-
elect Liverpool travel to reigning champs Manchester City tonight.
With Pep Guardiola promising Jurgen Klopp and his Reds a guard of honour at the Etihad before the 9.15pm kickoff, it’s once that guard breaks up dat die poppe sal dans.
City defender Benjamin Mendy explains: “We need to show them that we won the title two times and we want to beat them.”
Mendy and his teammates won the title in the previous two seasons - one with a record 100 points, while they pipped Liverpool to the title by one point last term. The Merseysiders can smash the 100-point barrier in this
campaign.
With the league title already wrapped up, Klopp says his boys is nog nie klaar gespeel nie.
The Reds coach explains: “We must never stop wanting it. We will stay humble and greedy and that makes us an uncomfortable opponent.
“As long as we stay clear. Life is constantly a challenge and ours is now being a champion against teams fighting for everything. Next season we won’t defend, we attack.”
