James Milner stresses the importance of Liverpool's pressing game ahead of second leg against Manchester City

Liverpool midfielder James Milner insists the coordinated approach to the team's defensive organisation will be key to keeping Manchester City at bay in the Champions League.

The Reds take a 3-0 lead to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday for the second leg of their quarter-final, knowing a clean sheet will put them into the last four of the competition for the first time since 2007.

Jurgen Klopp's side have registered back-to-back clean sheets, following up their European win with a goalless draw in the Merseyside derby at Everton, and that has given them more confidence ahead of their trip to Manchester.
