Clarke: We're ready for City challenge The Reds play host to Roberto Mancini's table-topping side on Sunday, who will arrive on Merseyside having dropped only two points from their 12 league matches so far this term. And first-team coach Clarke told Liverpoolfc.tv: "They're top of the league - and they're top of the league on merit. They've only dropped two points, but we look forward to the challenge. "We prepare ourselves - that's always what we try to do. We try and prepare our players and the way we want them to play. "We feel if we can perform to our maximum, and the players can all perform to their maximum on the day, we can give any team in the Premier League a game. "I don't think they have a main threat - they have a number of top-quality players, all capable of causing a problem. "It's up to us as a team and as individual players to handle that threat and if we do that we'll be okay." Liverpool will head into the game on the back of a 2-1 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last Sunday. Nonetheless, nobody at Melwood has been carried away by the result, insists Clarke. "We've beaten Chelsea - but we can only speculate about the Manchester City game," said the Scot, when asked what sort of message beating two of the league's biggest sides within the space of a week would send out. "Obviously we'll go out and try and win. We don't get carried away. Like I said after the Swansea game, we try not to get too low when things seem to be against us, and we don't get too carried away when things are looking rosy. "We've had a good result at Stamford Bridge and we look forward to another big challenge this weekend." Liverpool have drawn their last three league fixtures on home soil, and while Clarke is adamant that this sequence will have no bearing on the showdown with City, he plays down any suggestion a win could be the catalyst for an improved run of form at Anfield. "I'm not so sure it's going to kick-start anything," he said. "You just have to take every game as it comes. "We've dropped points at home we feel disappointed to have dropped, but we can't do anything about that now. We have to look at the next game, we have to attack it with relish and try to get the win we need." While Liverpool will have had a full week to prepare for the contest come kick-off on Sunday, City travelled to Italy in midweek to take on Napoli in the Champions League. Yet Clarke insists only time will tell if the extended rest will hand the Reds an advantage. He said: "We'll find out at the weekend. Sometimes when you've had a good performance, you want to play the next game really quickly. "There are two sides to the argument. One is that we will have had time to recover physically and mentally and to prepare. But there is also a school of thought that playing all the time like Man City are keeps momentum going." One of several impressive performers at Stamford Bridge last weekend was Craig Bellamy. The Wales striker joined the Reds on transfer deadline day from City, though Clarke doesn't believe he will feel he has anything to prove to his former employers. He said: "I don't think Craig has a point to prove to anybody. Everybody knows he's a fantastic player. He's done great for us and we're really pleased with his contribution - and long may it continue." |

imo there is renewed belief in the team.this eminates all from team selection.yes the fans will as always play the part but it almost has the feel to it when barca were coming to anfield and we all knew theyd be good but hey lfc were good on the day too.city are no barca i know and never will be.in lescotte they have a defender who is error ridden.suarez will destroy him.midfield selection will be crucial and only the best available will be good enough. from the two teams midfielders...jan was better than any of them that will be on display, in his day.someone like him now would be great...who knows come january??

Think this will be hard but the Napoli game was the most ive seen them exposed since the Bayern match. We need to put them under pressure on the right side but I have a feeling Richards will return for this one. Reina Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique Kuyt Adam Lucas Maxi / Downing Suarez Bellamy / Carroll I am optimistic. We need to keep it tight which is why I think Kenny might prefer Maxi and Kuyt for this one as they are slightly more disciplined than Downing and he may move inside a lot to help Lucas and Adam out. We cannot afford to be slack in possession. I think we may have a lot of joy down the flanks. Carroll has scored 4 in 5 against Manchester City, including 2 last season, so he might start but Bellamy has looked good most times hes played. Inspite of the massive outlay we had in the summer we are still starting big games with Maxi, Lucas and Kuyt but so beit if it works (I guess). |

reina johnson skrtel agger enrique lucas adam hendo maxi bellamy suarez this team can play as a 5 without the ball or press the ball and attack as a four . no point in downing playing to put crosses in for suarez against their big defenders. |

No Bellamy then. understandable. But leaving Maxi out today is a bit of a surprise.
