Manchester City midfielder Rodri has admitted unrelenting pressure being applied by Liverpool has acted as a benefit for Pep Guardiola's side this season.
Both teams have once again demanded sky-high standards from each other in search of the Premier League title, with no margin for error allowed at this stage of the season. Just one point separates the sides with five games remaining, in another battle for top spot that promises to go the distance.
Liverpool got the better of the Sky Blues in their FA Cup semi-final meeting earlier this month, though remain in competition with City for both the top-flight title and Champions League. Should both sides progress past the semi-final stages of Europe's elite competition, it would set up a mouth-watering head-to-head in the showpiece fixture in Paris.
