Vincent Kompany: “A lot more is at play than the three points”

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has added fuel to the fire by claiming that City’s upcoming fixture against Liverpool is about more than just the three points.

Liverpool and City are joint top of the Premier League going into this weekend’s clash, with only City’s superior goal difference keeping them ahead of the Reds.

Kompany, who has been on the receiving end of a lethal Liverpool attack more than once in his career, admits that there’s a lot at stake this Sunday afternoon.

“It’s a big game,” Kompany said. “Both teams are at the top of the league at the moment.

“It’s too early to be defining but it certainly has the feeling that a lot more is at play than the three points.
