Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C — Liverpool has a good record against City at Anfield

It is no hidden secret that Anfield is one of the more traditionally difficult grounds for Manchester City in the Premier League.

The last time City won at Liverpool's home ground, Ronaldo (the Brazilian) was still reigning supreme as the world's best player, all the way back in 2003.

Since then there have been 11 defeats in 15 visits; they have won just one of their last 27 and not kept a clean sheet in their last 24.

To say that Anfield is an unhappy stumping ground for City would be merely stating the obvious, and this would be playing at the back of their minds as they take the trip up north.

With Manchester City all out to end their hoodoo at Anfield and Liverpool determined to protect their home dominance, we would be set for a thriller.
