Liverpool should feel the full support of English football when they take on Manchester City this Sunday, with the watching public desperate to see the Reds win.City’s first game back after being found guilty of breaching Premier League financial rules was always going to be tasty, but the fact that it is at Anfield, of all places, is perfect for the narrative.Usually one of Liverpool’s fiercest detractors, Gary Neville has already admitted that he will be supporting the Reds in a once-in-a-lifetime feeling, but with almost everyone hoping for Andoni Iraola’s team to dish out some swift justice, the Manchester United legend has claimed that this current Liverpool side just might not be up to it. With everyone so keen to see them beat City, will they crumble?
