Bellamy knows how to prepare for big matches - Liverpool's Dalglish

Ahead of Liverpool's big test against Manchester City on Sunday, manager Kenny Dalglish is remaining calm regarding Craig Bellamy.

The Reds striker is set to take on his former club who he departed for Anfield in the summer but Dalglish knows the Wales international is professional enough to not let any sentiments, or lack thereof, get in the way of his preparation.

"Craig Bellamy is a fantastic professional footballer as we said after the game on Sunday," he told the club's official website.

"He knows his profession. He knows how to get himself prepared for a game. He's been a huge plus for us since he came in. What happened elsewhere for Craig at other times in his career, doesn't really concern me.

"We've been absolutely delighted with the way he has gone about his work on and off the pitch since he came here."
