Pep Guardiola's men have won the last four Premier League titles but this season the trophy looks set for Anfield, with the Reds entering the weekend with an eight-point cushion at the top.

City are 17 points off the leaders and reeling from Wednesday's bruising 3-1 play-off defeat at Real Madrid in the Champions League, but Robertson is expecting a reaction at the Etihad Stadium.

"It's still an incredibly tough place to go," the long-serving Liverpool left-back said.

"Certainly since I've been here, our record there isn't great from my memories. Maybe we've had a couple of draws and things like that. It's always been a tough place for us.
