Manchester City manager Mark Hughes believes Liverpool are serious challengers for this year's Premier League title.
Despite being one of the biggest names in English football, the Reds have often flattered to deceive in league competition and fallen short when it matters.
Hughes believes Liverpool have something about them this season and that after 18 years of hurt their time might have come to reclaim the crown of English champions.
However, Hughes believes his impressive City side have enough quality and guile to upset the Reds' quest when they meet this Sunday.
"Liverpool have been a top four side for a number of years now. They have a huge history of winning trophies," said Hughes.
"I sense that this season they will have a real go at trying to win the Premier League.
"Liverpool have had a great start. They look confident, strong and assured. They will run the top teams very close.
"It is a big test for us as they are playing exceptionally well at the moment.
"Hopefully we will be in a position to cause them problems as we have some good players in key areas of the park."
