Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen is counting on his side to bounce back from the disappointment of their 3-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion.
Brendan Rodgers suffered a dismal start to his Liverpool career with a heavy defeat, in a game which also saw Daniel Agger sent off.
Liverpool face a busy week, travelling to Hearts in the Europa League on Thursday before welcoming City to Anfield, and Allen is looking forward to the challenge.
