Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists there are no nerves in the camp ahead of Sunday's massive clash with Manchester City at Anfield (live on Sky Sports 1 from 12.30).

This weekend will mark the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, in which 96 Liverpool fans were tragically killed at an FA Cup tie against Nottingham Forest. Rodgers said: "It gives us great commitment and motivation of course. "Obviously, we'll get a chance to commemorate Hillsborough next week. It's going to be a great atmosphere at the weekend and, of course, the significance of Hillsborough for the world is to be marked. "For us, we carry it every day of our lives here, as a manager, as players, as the supporters. "Ninety-six people died and the victims of that and the families are with us every day of our lives."
