5 Feb
Summary
- Tijjani Reijnders stresses Manchester City must win at Anfield, a feat not achieved with fans since 2003.
- City trails Premier League leaders by six points with 14 games remaining in the 2026 season.
- Reijnders' recent goal-scoring form highlights his increasing importance to the squad.
Tijjani Reijnders has issued a stark message to his Manchester City teammates: they must achieve a historic victory at Anfield, a feat the club has not accomplished with fans in attendance since 2003. This crucial fixture comes as City trails the Premier League leaders by six points with 14 games remaining in the 2026 season, making further slip-ups unacceptable.
Reijnders, who scored in City's recent 3-1 Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle United, highlighted the team's determination to win every match. His personal form has been a bright spot, with seven goals across all competitions this season, six of which have come since the start of December. This scoring surge addresses a key concern for manager Pep Guardiola, who has lamented the team's recent wastefulness in front of goal.
