Your support makes all the difference.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.
City were fiercely criticised after the Champions League last-16 tie against Monaco, which they lost on away goals as the French side brutally exposed their fragile defence in a 6-6 aggregate draw.
"We have to keep our heads up. 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.
"It (Monaco) was not the result we wanted."
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.
"We have two competitions to play -- the league is not finished yet and we have the semi-final of the FA Cup so we are looking forward to that," the 31-year-old Brazilian added.
City are a point and a place above Liverpool, who have played one game more.

Aguero misses the target with a volleyed attempt from inside of the area. For a man of such brilliance, Guardiola would have been hoping for him to score from there.
FULL TIME
MANCHESTER CITY 1 - 1 LIVERPOOL
It's all over at the Etihad, with both sides leaving with just one point each. Milner's opener from the penalty gave the visitors the advantage, but this was levelled out following an Aguero equaliser. It's a fair result for two evenly matched sides, but neither manager will be happy to just be leaving with a point. Their quests to finish in the top four continues. It's the perfect result for Chelsea and Tottenham.
That's all from us today. Thank you very much for tuning in.
