Neil Warnock accepts beating Liverpool is 'virtually impossible' as he reveals how Cardiff City can be competitive



Neil Warnock has admitted the chances of Cardiff City beating Liverpool are 'virtually impossible', but has backed his team to be competitive against the high-flying Reds.

Cardiff head to Anfield on the back of their first Premier League win of the season - although they haven't beaten Liverpool since 1959.

With Jurgen Klopp's current crop unbeaten this season in league outings and boasting a formidable attack line in Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Cardiff's chances look slim.


Asked about the prospect of taking on the Reds in their own backyard, Warnock said: "It’s massive. It's virtually impossible for any team in the current game.

"I think the front three is probably the best around the world. We’ve all got to play at the top of our potential to give them a good game and hope they have an off day.

"But I think we can go there and cause problems.

"I hope the lads are looking forward to it, it’s a special place in football, a remarkable place."

Cardiff have picked up just one point on the road so far this season and have been priced at extraordinarily long odds to claim victory on Merseyside.

Warnock noted that he'd seen the odds and added on Liverpool's forward players: "If those three were injured, the next three aren’t bad either!

"You can only do so much as a coach."

Cardiff have lost 14 of their last 15 Premier League matches against ‘Big Six’ opposition (D1), conceding two or more goals in 12 of those games.
