Jamie Carragher says FSG deserve more credit as Man City handed fresh injury scare ahead of Liverpool clash

Your Liverpool morning digest for Sunday, March 27.

Jamie Carragher explains why FSG deserve more credit at Liverpool after 'unbelievable' upgrade

Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool owners FSG do not always receive the credit they deserve for transforming the club since their arrival in 2010.

The Reds have gone from strength to strength on and off the pitch within the last decade, competing for the biggest prizes within the game once again and developing state-of-the-art facilities for members of the squad and coaching staff.

The Reds are set to face their title rivals in a crucial Premier League clash at the Etihad on April 10 before taking them on again the following weekend in the semi-finals of the FA Cup at Wembley. Amid those fixtures, City also have to navigate a two-legged Champions League quarter-final tie against Atletico Madrid.

Ahead of kick-off, however, a late change was required after the former Everton man picked up a knock in the warm up and had to be replaced by Arsenal's Ben White.

Southgate confirmed after the win on Sunday that it wasn't as serious as first feared, but the defender faces a race against time to be ready for England's friendly against Ivory Coast on Tuesday, as well as City's upcoming league game against Burnley.
