Kevin de bruyne is aware of how important the fixtures is for both sides and for the Premier League title race, but instead, he wants to enjoy the 90 minutes at the Etihad.

The Cityzens initially opened up a 14 point lead over Liverpool in January, but the Reds have won 10 league games in a row to close the gap to just one.

“It is really big,” De Bruyne told Man City as the Belgian looked ahead to Sunday’s Liverpool title showdown.

“I think everybody is looking forward to it. I think the players will take it as a privilege to play these games.

“As a player you want to win games and trophies and if you want to do that then you need to win these big games.

“But if you win, draw or lose, there is still a lot to play for. We are going to try and play a good game and then we will see.

“That is the mentality, we want to win all three [trophies].

“It is going to be very hard, we have done good things before but their quality is good also so we will respect that and work hard.”
