David Silva is concerned about the damage Fernando Torres could do to Manchester City
The former Valencia forward has played alongside Torres on numerous occasions for Spain
They were both part of the squad that helped the nation win the World Cup in South Africa after an extra-time victory against Holland
Since then Silva has joined the City revolution and is due to come face-to face with Torres when Liverpool visit in the Barclays Premier League.
Torres must be hoping his fitness worries are behind him. He injured his thigh in the World Cup final after needing two knee operations during the season.
Yet the striker still managed to finish with 22 goals in 32 games in all competitions for his club, who finished a disappointing seventh in the table.
And Silva is worried that Torres, who came off the bench in the draw against Arsenal on Sunday, is getting his sharpness back and may be ready to make City suffer.
"I would rather play with Torres than against him,” Silva told Sky Sports' Barclays Premier League preview show.
"We all know that Fernando is a very good player. At any moment he can win the match."
Silva has started in City's first two games. He helped the team beat Timisoara
That victory came on the back of a goalless draw with Champions League contenders Tottenham at White Hart Lane
Silva has a special reason for seeking success against Liverpool and added: "I want to win as it is the first home game. I hope we will start well."
