Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has surprisingly admitted that a goalless draw at Anfield against table topping Liverpool will be a good result for his team.
He made this known during his pre-match conference, where he said he is worried about the trouble Liverpool quartet of Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz could cause his side.
Man City will be away to Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.
Guardiola’s side are in a very bad shape ahead of the clash, having navigated a six-game winless streak across competitions.

They have lost the first five, including three in the league. In stark contrast, Liverpool are riding a crest of impressive form.
The Reds in contrast, have lost just one game in 19 across competitions, winning 17, including the last six.
Speaking about the Red’s frontline ahead of the highly consequential fixture, Guardiola said, “Every corner or free-kick for you is a transition (opportunity) for them.
“How quick, the weapons they have up front, always since I’ve been here with (Roberto) Firmino, (Sadio) Mane, Salah.
“Now, with the other players. With Jota, with Nunes, with Luis Diaz, with Salah. 0-0 is a good result.”
