Kevin de Bruyne believes Manchester City and Liverpool will have time to recover fully from their Champions League exertions before Sunday's crucial Premier League showdown.
Both teams were in action in the first legs of their respective quarter-final ties in the European Cup on Tuesday and both achieved important wins. Liverpool were 3-1 victors in Benfica while City ground out a 1-0 success at home to Atletico Madrid.
Attention will now turn to Sunday's colossal league fixture between the two teams as Liverpool look to move to the summit of the table. City's lead has been cut to just one point after Jurgen Klopp 's side embarked on a 10-game winning run.
