Liverpool legend Aldridge: Our biggest game in quarter of century

Liverpool legend John Aldridge can't wait for Sunday's blockbuster with Manchester City.

Aldridge wrote in the Liverpool Echo: "It's going to be an absolute belter when Liverpool lock horns with Manchester City on Sunday. Anfield won't have hosted a bigger league game for a quarter of a century.

"When you think back to the great nights we've had in the Champions League, this is going to match or even surpass them.

"The atmosphere will be electric. Every Liverpool fan will be up for it and anyone with a ticket is very lucky because they could have sold out this fixture three times over.

"It's not quite on the same scale as when we played Arsenal in our final game back in 1989 but it's not far off.

"The result on Sunday won't decide the title race but it will certainly have a huge bearing on the outcome.

"If City win we won't throw in the towel because they've still got to go to Goodison but it would certainly be difficult for us from there.

"If we win it's firmly in our hands and that momentum can carry us home over the final four matches. Chelsea will be watching and hoping it's a draw."
