Allen feels Reds ready to put end to City run

Defiant Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen believes the Reds can head to Manchester City on St Stephen’s Day without any fear.

City are formidable at the Etihad Stadium, where they have a 100% record from eight matches and have scored 35 goals, including six against Arsenal on their last appearance.

However, Liverpool are the Premier League’s second-highest scorers behind Manuel Pellegrini’s side and have racked up 17 goals in four successive wins.
