‘Dangerous’ – Andoni Iraola reveals how Liverpool can ‘hurt’ Manchester City

The Reds are unbeaten under Andoni Iraola this season, but the Cityzens have won every game under Enzo Maresca, who has enjoyed a fantastic start to life in Manchester after replacing Pep Guardiola at the helm.

Both sides are playing some good football and are expected to compete at the top end of the Premier League table this season.

To be quite honest, City and everyone associated with the club will be a bit on edge after their recent sanctions, so Liverpool will look to inflict more misery on them with a headline result at Anfield.
