Cancelo: Man City have played probably 3 of the best teams in a week

Joao Cancelo admits Manchester City couldn’t have faced a harder week as they follow up trips to Chelsea and PSG with a showdown against Liverpool at Anfield.

‘We will have played against probably three of the best teams in the world,’ says the Portuguese defender about his tough road trip.

‘The defeat in Paris is part of the past and we are focused on Sunday.

‘This is what you want as elite players so we need to be ready for the challenge.’

Pep Guardiola may reshuffle his pack after Tuesday’s 2-0 loss in France with Phil Foden and Gabriel Jesus among those set to return.

‘It must be a headache for the manager to choose because every player in our squad performs at a very high level,’ added Cancelo.

‘I have dreamt of playing in big games such as the Champions League and Premier League.

‘Chelsea are a more pragmatic team than Liverpool. They defend with a lot of players behind the ball and don’t press as high.

‘Liverpool take more risks but we are also a great team. We will see two of the best managers in the world, it really depends on how you perceive football.

‘I personally like Pep Guardiola more. Not only because he is my coach, but for the football his teams play. I think wherever we go, our team always shows personality.’

City beat Liverpool 4-1 at Anfield last season when Klopp faded a defensive crisis. But this season the visitors have also had selection issues Cancelo, predominantly a right-back, slotting in on the left.
