Liverpool can exploit Manchester City's weaknesses - Andrew Robertson

Andrew Robertson believes Liverpool enter Wednesday's Champions League meeting against Manchester City full of confidence having exploited some weaknesses of Pep Guardiola's side during January's win.

City, who can win the Premier League title against Manchester United on Saturday, suffered their only defeat of the league season when they were beaten 4-3 at Anfield on Jan. 14.

The two teams were then drawn together in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, with the first leg being played at Anfield on Wednesday evening.

"It doesn't get much harder than Man City, arguably one of the best teams in Europe just now," Robertson told Liverpool's official website.

"But we managed to get the better of them at Anfield a couple of months ago and if we can take anything out of that performance then we managed to show their weaknesses, especially in that 10 minutes when we scored three goals.

"But they also showed our weaknesses by scoring three goals, which obviously we weren't happy with and in a two-legged tie that might not have been good enough.

"We look forward to it, it'll be a massive occasion. The fans will be loud as usual and I'm sure they'll try to make it hostile for Man City and hopefully give us a lift from it.

"If we can do that then we'll just look to put in a good performance and hopefully get a good result to take to the Etihad in the following week."

If selected, Wednesday's game would be just Robertson's second ever appearance in the Champions League.

"I think you see the way the two teams play, it's going to be intense, it's going to be a high-tempo game," he said.

"Whether Man City are better than us on the night or whether we're better than them on the night, that'll still be there, the high tempo. It might come down to one mistake or whatever and we just hope it's not us.

"Obviously they have the advantage of having the second leg at home so they might change it, but I think Man City have got a way of playing and they've not changed it in any Premier League game so far.

"They came to Anfield and played the exact same, they've went to Old Trafford and played the exact same when maybe people thought they would go a bit more defensive-minded and they've not done it, so we need to prepare for everything. We know the way we'll play and hopefully that's enough on the night."
