Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany says they're ready to face Liverpool.

City return to action next weekend at Liverpool, a venue where they dropped two points last season despite a Kompany goal.

The Belgian said: "We know Liverpool's qualities. Playing at Anfield has always been a very difficult game for us.

"I would say it is one of the few games where it probably starts as an even contest.

"We will see if we can get the three points back to Manchester this time."
