Hughes keeping one eye on Anfield clash

MANCHESTER CITY manager Mark Hughes is more eager than usual to learn the result of tomorrow’s mouthwatering Anfield clash between bitter enemies Liverpool and Manchester United.

On the back of their best start to a season since 1977, City find themselves challenging for a place in the top four of the Barclays Premier League, and maybe even for the title itself.

Hughes’ side are five points behind leaders United with a game in hand, which is why their cross-city rivals’ clash at Liverpool is of far greater importance than it has been in the past.
