He said: "People say this is a big game for City, to prove we are worthy of being called a big club. But this is also a big game for Liverpool.
"They'll look at us and see us above them in the table
"Our main aim is to be in one of the Champions League places by finishing in the top four."So we need to go to Liverpool and prove we can take one of those places they want to be involved in."
He's right, it is an important game. It will be interesting to see if he's involved at all - I don't know if he's shaken off whichever injury prevented his being in the squad against Burnley. It wouldn't really take much in terms of form and fitness for him to replace Adebayor - who hasn't played well since the Arsenal game. But given that RSC has played one league game this year, and was woeful in it, he's not there yet. When they both get fit Hughes will have an interesting choice on his hands.
