Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor gives Liverpool verdict ahead of Continental Cup 'decider'

Manchester City boss Gareth Taylor is expecting a challenging encounter when his side take on Liverpool in the Continental League Cup on Wednesday night.

The Reds will welcome City to Prenton Park for their final group stage game in the competiton, where a win will see Matt Beard's side top the group and secure their place in January's quarter-finals. Liverpool have a flawless record in the Conti Cup so far this season, having beaten Sunderland, Leicester and Blackburn Rovers without conceding a single goal.

However, they will face a much sterner test when City travel to Merseyside this week, with Gareth Taylor's side on an eight-game winning run in all competitions. City currently sit second in Group B, three points behind Liverpool with a game in hand, and with only the group winners guaranteed to advance to the next round, Taylor believes Wednesday's clash will be hugely decisive.
