ILKAY GUNDOGAN says Manchester City will be gunning for revenge at Anfield tomorrow night.
Pep Guardiola’s runaway leaders suffered their only Premier League defeat this season at Liverpool.
But nearly three months on from that 4-3 thriller, City are ready to put the record straight in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Gundogan said: “Obviously, going back to Anfield for the first-leg game is a great motivation for us.
“Liverpool are still the only team that’s been capable of beating us in the Premier League. But we’re aware why this happened.
“We’re aware of our strengths and we know what we’re capable of. We want to prove that in both games.”
City thrashed Jurgen Klopp’s side 5-0 at the Etihad back in September.
And Gundogan says having the second leg back at the Etihad next Tuesday is a big advantage for City as he bids to get one over his old Dortmund boss.
The midfielder, 27, added: “We’d like to get a great result in the first leg and then dominate the game in the second leg, in front of our fans.
“That’s what we want to do and, if we achieve that, then I’m sure we’ll make it into the next round.
