Enrique says Liverpool up for Man City clash

Liverpool fullback Jose Enrique says they're up for their clash with Manchester City.

Enrique came off the bench in the second half to make his first appearance of 2013, and despite feeling frustrated at losing a two-goal lead, he claims the Reds can take a lot of heart from their display.

"I think when you get a draw away at Arsenal it is a good result for the team, but we were 2-0 up and I thought we deserved more," Enrique told Liverpoolfc.com.

"We played very well in the first half and had some chances to increase our score and were a little bit unlucky.

"In the second half they pressed us and made it difficult for us and both sides had chances, but it was a great game and in the end it's not a bad result.

"We have another very important game at Manchester City on Sunday and I think if we can play like we did on Wednesday night then we can win it.

"There is a long way to go in the race for the top-four and if we can take four points from these two games that would be fantastic.

"We won there last season in the Carling Cup and there's no reason why we can't do it again."
