Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero warns the 'pressure is on Liverpool' to get a result at the Etihad on Sunday.
The Reds take on Pep Guardiola's side in what is shaping up to be a crucial fixture in the race for the Premier League title. Liverpool currently sit one point behind their rivals and a win this weekend will take them two points clear at the summit.
A defeat would hand City a huge boost in their bid to retain their title with a four point lead. Although, Aguero admits the title race is 'still open' and hard to predict.

"In the league, this weekend’s match between City and Liverpool feels like a big moment but nothing will be decided yet, the former Manchester City striker told Stake. "Both teams are so consistent and had good wins against Watford and Burnley last week.
"For me, the advantage is with City because of the home advantage. Liverpool really need to win, so the pressure is on them. But it’s a hard one to predict and the title race is still open. These games are usually about moments and City will be hoping that Foden and De Bruyne perform again.
"Liverpool will be looking at Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Luis Diaz, who has been outstanding since he joined from Porto, to make the difference. I expect it to be a close game and a tactical battle between two great managers.
"It’s one of the biggest games of the season for both teams and one that I would have loved to be a part of as a player. This is when the best players in the world step up."
Aguero announced his retirement in December last year following a short stint at Barcelona. He made just under 400 appearances for Manchester City and scored 260 goals in all competitions.
