(Reuters) - Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp has vowed "there will be fire" when the Merseyside club faces Manchester City in Wednesday's Champions League showdown, saying his team, at their best, are capable of defying the odds to reach the semi-finals. City visit Anfield in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, resuming a rivalry which has seen 12 goals scored in the last two meetings between the teams. "If I had the choice to watch a Champions League game on Wednesday I would watch this one," Klopp told reporters. "I think it's really not... it is about tactics but there will be fire in the game, so that's cool. Liverpool suffered a 5-0 league defeat at the Etihad Stadium in September after forward Sadio Mane was sent off but exacted their revenge with a 4-3 win at Anfield in January, which remains City's only Premier League defeat of the season.
