Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool must be at their very best to beat Manchester City and reach the Champions League semi-finals.
Liverpool host Guardiola's side in the first leg on Wednesday night and can take heart from inflicting the only league defeat upon City this season, winning 4-3 in an Anfield thriller in January.
Klopp says both sides will leave everything on the pitch over the two legs in order to take their place as England's only representative in the last four.

He said "There is no easy opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Now we have Manchester City and they are quite a special team to be honest. That is the truth and they will be the absolutely deserving champion of the Premier League. It's clear that City, with the things they have and the heights they have reached this season, their confidence is probably at an outstandingly high level. That's okay. But we are not in a bad moment we are in a good moment as well. City have a chance at Anfield because they can win wherever they go. But we can win football games as well and that's the only thing I am interested in. I like difficult tasks, I like difficult jobs. It's about what we can do in this moment and preparing our boys in the best way possible, both mentally and physically, and then let's go. It's a big opportunity and we'll try everything to make it happen."
