The Premier League leaders face Jurgen Klopp’s side and their Argentina international believes the Reds’ presence in Manchester will be a catalyst. Sergio Aguero thinks Jurgen Klopp bringing Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday will spark a positive reaction out of Manchester City.
The Premier League leaders drew a blank at Aston Villa prior to the international break and welcome a Liverpool side also hoping to recover from a poor result, having lost 2-1 at home to Crystal Palace. City are nine points clear of Klopp’s men in the table but Aguero, who is hoping to feature after spending six weeks out with a hamstring injury, rates Liverpool as one of the toughest sides to play in England.
“It should be a great game,” Aguero told City’s official website. “Jurgen Klopp has come in and he is a great addition to the Premier League. “I have stated before that it is a good thing that the best players and managers come to England – it makes it one of the most competitive tournaments in the whole world. Klopp did a great job at [Borussia] Dortmund and that secured his spot in the Premier League. I am sure he will have the time he needs to adapt. The truth is playing against tougher opponents makes us all better at our jobs.”
The Argentina star scored five times in his last City outing as Newcastle United were put to the sword at the Etihad and Manuel Pellegrini could have Fabian Delph (hamstring), David Silva (foot) and Pablo Zabaleta (knee) back in action after the trio joined Aguero in returning to training this week.
