Pep Guardiola drills Manchester City players on how to stop Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has revealed his secret to thwarting Liverpool’s holy trinity of Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. "Today I'm going to explain to you what they do in attack, with the ball - Liverpool," Guardiola said. "It's a team who is so good at running - runs in behind - because the men up the pitch are so important. "Just focus today, when the ball is outside, close the channel. Mane and Salah, play in those positions, so when the ball is here (midfield) they make the move or put the ball here (the channel). "They are so fast. Even when the (City) full-back has to go, try to make that movement (out wide) to close here, the play here (inside). Okay?"
