Pep Guardiola is refusing to believe that Liverpool are any less dangerous this season despite the fact that they are not challenging for the Premier League title.
Liverpool have struggled for consistency all season after taking Manchester City all the way to the final day last year in another thrilling title race, and are out of all competitions. They face a real challenge to qualify for the Champions League next year sitting seven points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
However, Liverpool have beaten City in two of their three meetings this season in league and cup, so Guardiola has warned his City players that their opponents should never be underestimated, and his opinion has not changed on account of their position going into Saturday's showdown at the Etihad.
