Liverpool fullback Robertson happy to skip Man City clash

Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson says he's likely to skip today's game between Manchester City and Burnley.

Robertson insists he isn't superstitious and will watch the game if timings work out, but insists it's not No 1 on his Sunday to-do list.

If City lose, Liverpool will remain clear at the top of the table.

Robertson said, "I saw the Manchester derby on Wednesday and if I'm free I will watch on Sunday - whether I do or not, it's not going to make any difference to the result!

"But I am not going to go out of my way to watch the game and if I'm doing something with the kids, I'll do that.

"We need City to drop points because we are at the stage of the season where if they win all their games, they win the league. They have tough games and so do we.

"We need to get maximum points and hopefully that is enough. If not we have to pick ourselves up."
