Liverpool have the likes of Raheem Sterling, Mario Balotelli and a fit again Daniel Sturridge to get past the Manchester City defence and even if they fell behind to a City goal, will know they are more than capable of getting back into the game.
Mario Balotelli has more than enough motivation to impress Brendan Rodgers, Sturridge is just getting back to match fitness and will only get better and Sterling is a quality player no matter who he is up against.
