Pep Guardiola's men have a lot to do against Liverpool
Those are the thoughts of Ian Wright.
Manchester City have hit the buffers after losing back-to-back games against Liverpool and United.
Pep Guardiola’s side had a chastening night in the first leg of their Champions League tie against the Reds at Anfield, losing 3-0.

While Wright has urged Jurgen Klopp’s men to be “brave and fearless” in the second leg on Tuesday (7.45pm), he insists City will put the frighteners on Liverpool if they can get off to a fast start.
“If the City we saw in the first half of Saturday’s derby turn up, I can easily see them scoring a couple before the break against Liverpool as well. And then it really is game on,” he told The Sun.
“That’s what all the neutrals would love, because it would make for a real thriller.
