Rico Lewis is anticipating a tough night's work should he be given the nod in Manchester City's Carabao Cup clash with Liverpool next week.
Lewis impressed as City played a friendly against Spanish side Girona on Saturday, with Pep Guardiola's side running out comfortable 2-0 winners. Lewis started at right-back in the win as Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan made their returns to club action following the World Cup.
Goals from De Bruyne and Erling Haaland earned a win which will be their last action before facing Liverpool next Thursday in the Carabao Cup. The fixtures against Liverpool in recent years have become fiercely competitive and Lewis will hope to make another start in that match with Kyle Walker coming back from World Cup duty with England.
