(Reuters) - Liverpool do not want to experience a repeat of last season when they narrowly lost the Premier League title race to Manchester City and will look to take all three points when the champions visit on Sunday, goalkeeper Alisson Becker has said.
Liverpool lost only one league game last season -- a 2-1 defeat at City -- to lose the title by a point and Alisson said the Anfield side would do everything they could to extend their six-point lead at the top of the table.
"In the end it is just three more important points but Manchester City have been the best team in the league for the last few years so we need to give everything to win this game. Alisson missed more than two months after sustaining a calf injury on the first day of the season against Norwich City, an injury that led to Adrian stepping in to replace him in goal.
"Straight after the injury the doctor told me it could be four to six weeks," he said."Then when we did the scan we saw it was a big injury and it became more.
