Aguero says Man City will ‘fight until the very end’ ahead of Liverpool clash
SERGIO AGUERO has vowed Manchester City are ready to “fight until the very end” in their battle with Liverpool.
City visit Merseyside today in the biggest match of the season to date.
A home victory would see the table-topping Reds stretch the gap between the sides to nine points — while success for Pep Guardiola’s men would halve the current deficit to three.
But City would need to halt a sorry sequence at Anfield, having last won there in 2003.
Regardless of who takes the spoils today, Aguero has no doubt his side will push all the way in pursuit of a third successive Premier League trophy.
The Argentine said: “We’ll fight until the very end. It’s my personal philosophy and a motto of this club.
“We’ve made it abundantly clear last year, holding the lead during that gruelling home stretch.
“This season didn’t start off the way we wanted it to and some of the results we’ve had weren’t the ones we set out to achieve.
“However, there’s a quite a bit of road ahead of us. It certainly won’t be easy but who said it would ever be?
“We have to trust our game, give our utmost effort and, just like usual, fight until the very end.”

City will be without first-choice keeper Ederson, with Claudio Bravo set for his first league appearance in 18 months.
Injuries have also disrupted Guardiola’s defence and midfield this season.
Things have been less complicated up front, with Aguero fit and firing to the tune of 13 goals in all competitions.
That has kept Brazilian frontman Gabriel Jesus in a supporting role for much of the campaign.
Boss Guardiola is obviously a big fan of City’s 244-goal record scorer.

He said: “Sergio was born scoring goals and will die scoring goals. He is an exceptional player.
“But we have two incredible strikers. He has qualities that are different from Gabriel.
“I am so delighted with both.”
