Former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live to look ahead to the weekend's game against Manchester City and Mohamed Salah's contract situation

On the impact of Manchester City losing Rodri: "You you'd expect the amount of money that they've shelved out over the last eight years or so that that they're giving people a chance to come in and do the job, but they haven't and lost belief. And that happens to all really good, great teams."

Will Liverpool be playing a 'wounded animal' on Sunday: "If they perform on the day - and they've got a point to prove next week - then it's going to be such a tough game for us. You know absolutely they're a tremendous squad and I expect nothing but a really hard game next week."

On Mo Salah's contract situation: "It's a little bit political, isn't it. It's a well known trait of Liverpool to keep things close to their chest but I think the fans will demand to know what's going on to a certain degree."

On the fans wanting him to stay: "Absolutely, look at his figures. They're obscene and unbelievable."
