Jurgen Klopp’s side will lock horns with the Cityzens at the Etihad this weekend, with kick-off at 12:30 p.m. (GMT). Liverpool stars Luis Diaz, Alisson Becker, Alexis Mac Allister, and Darwin Nunez have just traveled back to Merseyside this week from South America after their international fixtures. The South American footballers certainly will be weary after long hours of travel.Elliott admitted this adds to what will already be a tough clash against Manchester City, telling Echo: We just need to, obviously as soon as we get back, start preparing for that game.”
Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott sees a tough fixture in their upcoming Premier League encounter against Manchester City on Saturday, November 25. The English midfielder, however, believes his side will bring their A-game after a productive international break.
The German manager has expressed his disapproval of lunch-time kick-offs on multiple occasions in the past, bemoaning playing football at such odd times.
“Yeah, definitely (it’s hard). Especially with the South Americans as well, travelling and everything, but we can’t use that as an excuse. It’s the same for City as well.
He added:
“We need to make sure we’re mentally there and not focused on the bits before. We need to make sure we’re prepared and ready to go. It’s going to be a tough game at the Etihad, especially against a worldclass team as well. It’s not going to be easy.
