Liverpool's players are certain to watch Manchester City's potentially crucial game at Leeds, Rio Ferdinand has insisted – but the veteran of Premier League title races says they might switch off if the reigning champions score early.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp claimed his stars would be solely contemplating their Champions League semi-final second leg at Villarreal on Tuesday when he was asked whether his focus was on City, who visit Elland Road in the late Premier League game on Saturday.
Ex-Manchester United defender Ferdinand dismissed the idea of the Liverpool squad, who won 1-0 at Newcastle in the first game of the day to move two points above City at the top of the table, ignoring their rivals' game.
