I had the feeling in recent years in the Champions League we can compete with any team. Always we were there.“In previous seasons against that team - we feel it, they feel it - we were there and, in many aspects, better than them. This time we couldn’t go through and we accept the reality.“Look at the situations now with two central defenders out for two months. This period in the Premier League is now massively important for us.“In the Premier League we have done good, good games. Even when we lost 5-1 against Arsenal but we played very well for 60 minutes. The rest we were not stable.“In other games, like Newcastle, we played with high quality.”“The games are different, strength of the opponent is different. We need to try and stay there and qualify next season for where we were on Wednesday.”Team NewsCity’s side have an unavailable/questionable list of Rodri, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Manuel Akanji & Oscar Bobb who are out or doubtful.Pool have Gakpo, Bradley, Gomez and Morton out or doubtful.PredictionManchester City 2-2 Liverpool
