Manchester City midfielder Stephen Ireland is expecting an open game against Liverpool today.
Ireland believes the match against the title-chasers will be one for the purists.
He said: "I think there will be more space for us, and it should be a good footballing game. Liverpool are quite like us. They like to play football and hit on the break, so it could be an end-to-end match.
"No one expects us to get a victory, but we often win the games we're not expected to. The defeat at our place against them was hard to take.
"The turning point was when (Pablo) Zabaleta got sent off - although we still should have won.
"I think we'll have that fact on our minds at Anfield."
