EPL Preview: Virtually impossible to stop Liverpool, says Cardiff boss

Neil Warnock

Neil Warnock says Cardiff have a virtually impossible task to try and get a positive result at Liverpool. The Bluebirds climbed out of the relegation zone last weekend by beating Fulham 4-2. But second-placed Liverpool are unbeaten in the league this season and are only behind Manchester City on goal difference.

Asked about Cardiff's daunting challenge, manager Warnock said: "It's massive. It's virtually impossible for any team in the current game. I think the front three is probably the best in the world. We've all got to play at the top of our potential to give them a good game and hope they have an off day."

Warnock joked that he had looked at bookmakers' odds which had priced Cardiff 70-1 to win 1-0, yet put Liverpool at 50-1 to triumph 7-1. And he does not expect Liverpool to rest their top players. "Someone said to me they'd rest Mohamed Salah," added Warnock. "I said 'what, when he's got a chance of scoring five or six goals against us?' He's going to want to play, isn't he?"
