"A stadium where we never seem to win a lot" - Manchester City star makes Anfield admission ahead of crunch Liverpool clash 

Manchester City forward Phil Foden has shared his thoughts on their upcoming crucial Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, March 10.

Foden starred with two goals and a brilliant performance as City beat Manchester United 3-1 in the Manchester derby at the Etihad on Sunday, March 3. With the win, the Cityzens remained within one point of league leaders Liverpool.

The two sides are now set to face off at Anfield in a potential title decider next week. After the United win, Foden spoke about the significance of the upcoming clash against the Merseysiders, saying (via HITC):

“It’s massive. It’s a stadium that we never seem to win a lot, so it’s going to be a challenge.

“It’s games we want to play in, the biggest games and the biggest occasions, so hopefully, we will be ready for it.”

Since being appointed Manchester City's manager in 2016, Pep Guardiola has traveled to Anfield eight times across competitions, winning just once. The Spaniard's side has lost five times and won once.

Liverpool also beat City 1-0 at Anfield last season, which didn't prove to be too costly for the Cityzens as they won the title by just one point.
