Norwich midfielder Gilmour: We can go to Liverpool with confidence

Norwich City midfielder Billy Gilmour insists they can draw positives from defeat to Manchester City.

The 4-0 final score may have suggested otherwise but Gilmour feels Norwich can travel to Liverpool believing that they weren't far off an upset against Manchester City.

Manchester City are one of the best teams in the world, we know that, that's why they're at the top and we're near the bottom - but at the same time, we gave them a right test," said Chelsea loanee Gilmour.

“The score doesn't say that but at 1-0 at half-time we thought we had a chance to come back out and the early goal killed us.

“We dug in, we had some opportunities from corners and set-pieces. That's where we thought we could get at them and they'd be most vulnerable, on counter-attacks as well.

“But we know at Anfield it will be a tough, tough test. We'll go there with the same mindset and battle."
