Everton midfielder Leon Osman has issued Liverpool a promise, that Everton will do all they can to beat Manchester City.
Osman made the promise in a Newspaper interview, with both City and Liverpool gunning for the League title.
Liverpool will be looking for a favour from their Merseyside rivals when the Citizens visit Goodison Park on Saturday as Brendan Rodgers’ men know that the title is now out of their hands if City manage to win all three of their remaining games.
Despite the fierce rivalry between Liverpool and Everton, Osman is keen to do the Reds a favour, and was quoted in the Daily Mail.
‘Absolutely,’ said the Everton midfielder. ‘We’re professionals and it’s what we do. It’s a big game at Goodison and we want to enjoy it and win it.
‘City needed to rely on a slip-up by Liverpool to give them a chance so they’re probably favourites now and it’s up to us to stop them.
‘A lot of clubs will be watching this game very closely but we’ve got to put all that out of our minds and do what we always do and go into the game to win.
‘While it’s still mathematically possible we’ll be aiming to achieve it (a top-four finish). We can only do that if we win our last two games which is what we want.
‘With us playing first and being able to put the pressure back on Arsenal, it will be a good thing for us if we make sure we try and win that game.’
