Former Liverpool captain Jamie Redknapp is backing his old side in Sunday's showdown with Manchester City.

The table-topping Reds host City in a crucial game for both sides' respective title charges, and Redknapp thinks that his former team will emerge victorious at Anfield.

Redknapp told Sky Sports News: "A huge thing in Liverpool's favour is the venue; beating top-six rivals Arsenal 5-1, Everton 4-0 and Tottenham 4-0 at Anfield, while City have failed to win at Arsenal and Chelsea in this campaign.

"For me, that points towards a hugely important win for Liverpool."

Liverpool have won their last nine games.
