Liverpool midfielder Jay Spearing was disappointed with his performance in defeat at West Bromwich Albion last week.
The 22-year-old admits he's frustrated by his own showing at the Hawthorns - and he's hoping for an opportunity to prove what he can do against Manchester City tonight.
"I was very pleased with Sunderland, but a little bit disappointed with West Brom," Spearing told LFC TV.
"I thought I didn't get involved in the game as much as I would have liked to, so now from a personal point of view I want to get back out there and prove I can play against the best players in the world, and Manchester City have a lot of them.
"And it's not just me, the rest of the team want to do the same."
