Tuesday’s 2-1 win at Anfield, earned by goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, lifted the Reds to the top of Champions League Group E with two pool-stage matches left to play.
Including last week’s dramatic penalty shootout success versus Arsenal - a Carabao Cup tie in which Origi scored twice - Jürgen Klopp’s side go into their top-of-the-table meeting with City on the back of five consecutive wins.
And that, Origi stated, provides confidence prior to such a crucial Premier League match.
“It is important for us. I think we worked hard to play against a team that really wanted it - so [it’s] a very important three points,” the forward said, following the Genk victory.
