Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said he is unsure how his team will play against Liverpool next week.
The Premier League champions suffered a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham at home on Saturday.
The loss sees them five points behind the Reds, who they face next weekend.
Liverpool could come into the game eight points clear if they win at Southampton on Sunday.
Guardiola, speaking after the Spurs defeat, said: “We have to come back and freshen our minds. The season is so long. Many things can happen.
“Before the game I didn’t know what will happen today. So I don’t know what will happen at Anfield. Everyone knows the situation is new for us.
“We struggled more without the ball. I don’t know how many chances we created. Our game was there.”
