Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart has suggested that Liverpool will not be 'worried' about Raheem Sterling when they travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Sterling will go up against his former club for the first time since making the summer switch to City for £49m.
The England international received criticism from Liverpool fans on social media, but Hart believes that everything has blown over.
"I think the whole thing with Raheem has gone now," Hart told Sky Sports News. "He got a few boos in pre-season around the world, Liverpool have got a big fan base, but they have got other things to worry about now.
"It's a big game for us. It's a team that we've struggled against away from home recently. We've had better form at home. Obviously they have a new manager, and I'm sure they have a similar situation with people coming back from international duty and injury. We'll be ready."
City are currently at the top of the Premier League table, nine points above 10th-placed Liverpool.
