(Reuters) - Midfielder Fernandinho has urged Manchester City to cast aside their painful Champions League exit at the hands of Monaco and make a swift return to winning ways in Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium. It's a great game to play -- especially at home in front of our fans. We have to give an answer to our fans," Fernandinho told the club's website. Fernandinho remained optimistic about City's chances of picking up silverware this season as they sit third in the league, 10 points behind leaders Chelsea, and take on Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley next month. City are a point and a place above Liverpool, who have played one game more.
