Marc Guehi insists Manchester City are not giving up on their bid for silverware this season, as the club prepares to face Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. The England defender, who joined City from Crystal Palace in a £20million January move, believes there is still a long way to go in the campaign.
City head into the clash needing a win to arrest a poor run of form and keep pace with Premier League leaders Arsenal. They have dropped points in five of their last six games, but Guehi remains confident. “The goal is always to win and always to get better,” he said. “There’s still a long season ahead – lots of points and games to fight for. The mindset is to look forward and to try and win.”
City have a dismal record at Anfield, having won just once in their last 22 league visits, that victory coming behind closed doors in February 2021. Guehi acknowledged the difficulty but backed his side’s resilience. “It’s not an easy place to go to, but as long as we show that resilience and team spirit together – knowing that we have the qualities to compete against any other team – we thoroughly believe in ourselves,” he said.
New signing Antoine Semenyo, who joined from Bournemouth for £62.5million last month, is relishing the contest. The Ghana international has scored four times in his first six appearances for City. “As an outsider before joining here, it was always entertaining watching City and Liverpool,” he said. “To be part of it, I’m so grateful, but it’s going to be a challenge. We’re prepared for it and we’ll be fired up for it on the day.”
