Philippe Coutinho has revealed he has received messages of support from a number of Liverpool fans ahead of Sunday's Premier League clash with Manchester City but is only focused on helping his new club.
The Brazilian midfielder joined Aston Villa on loan from Barcelona in January, a move which has since been made permanent by Steven Gerrard's side. Coutinho will be part of the Villa side this weekend hoping to do his former employers a major favour in the title race, along with Danny Ings and Gerrard.
Liverpool require three points against Wolves at Anfield, but are also counting on City's opponents to take at least one point off Pep Guardiola's men to stand a chance of top-flight glory. Fully aware of the circumstances heading into the match at the Etihad, Coutinho has admitted he is not allowing his past connection with the Reds to weigh heavy on his mind.
