Stevan Jovetic has said the pressure is on Liverpool in Sunday's Premier League clash between the two title chasing teams and has confidently predicted a City win. The Montenegro international, who has struggled with form and fitness since making his high-profile move from Fiorentina last summer, managed just his second Premier League goal for City in the comfortable 4-1 victory over Southampton on Saturday. Pellegrini's men though have showed their versatility again though with four different goal scorer's.

Liverpool strikers Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling have scored 55 of their team’s 90 league goals this season. By contrast, 48 of Chelsea’s 65 goals have come from their midfield and defence.

But City have shared the burden, with strikers grabbing 37, midfielders 38 and the defence chipping in with five.

Jovetic told The Manchester Evening News "It’s important that a team has so many players who can score, as we saw on Saturday, with Nasri, Edin, me and Yaya all scoring,” he said.

“There is always someone who is going to score for us, but we also have the defence and midfield playing well.

And on Sunday's showdown “This squad has a lot of experience because we won the Premier League two years ago,” he said.

“We know how to play and keep the pressure down and I think Liverpool have more pressure — I think we are going to win.

“A draw would be good but I think we are the team that always goes for the victory and I hope it will be the same at Anfield.”
