Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan has declared that the club will do everything possible to keep their Premier League title hopes alive when they travel to face league leaders Liverpool, who currently sit eight points clear at the top,.
Softfootball gathered that Gundogan addressed the significance of the fixture in comments to the club’s official website, acknowledging just how much ground City risk falling behind if results don’t go their way.
On the stakes involved, Gundogan explained:
To stay in the title race, probably yes, because 11 points would be a huge gap. It’s still early in the season. There are still a lot of games to play and a lot of things can happen, not just on our side but at every other team.
He also touched on the difficulty of the trip to Anfield specifically:
Anfield is always tough, no matter the situation. We’ve struggled in recent years going there and we know Liverpool are a great team full of confidence right now. It’s going to be as tough as it is possible to be.
