Anything but a victory here for Liverpool would be a terrible result for Jurgen Klopp's men as the Anfield club continue to chase their first league title in 29 years. 

With just four games left for the Reds to play, the title is within touching distance but they face a tricky fixture against survival-chasing Cardiff City who have been boosted by a recent three points against Brighton.

Neil Warnock's side beat Brighton 2-0 on Tuesday night and they will be hoping that postiive result combined with home support here against Liverpool can propel them to further points on Sunday.

Liverpool need maximum points against Cardiff to ensure their Premier League title bid remains on course with just three games left to play this season following Sunday's clash.

Wednesday's 4-1 victory over Porto in the Champions League will undoubtedly give the Reds some extra momentum heading into the fixture against Cardiff, but Klopp will be wary of the wilting energy levels of his players.

However, at such a crucial stage of the season, the German manager is unlikely to drastically chop and change his starting XI, so they are likely to field the strongest available side despite the weakened opposition in Cardiff.

He also downplayed the pressure and tension that comes with being in a title race, insisting his players are relishing their position at this stage of the season.

"They are massive games, such an interesting period and so positive," said Klopp. "We are really enjoying it. It's good that you are involved in two competitions. It's a sign of success.

"Now, it's about how you mix your potential with attitude. We obviously have good players, and mix it with a world-class attitude. We did that from the first day of the season and so far it worked out – we are difficult to play against."

Cardiff, however, have their eyes fully on escaping the drop this season.

Their win over Brighton in mid-week was huge and they now have a realistic chance of playing Premier League football again next season.

But Warnock realises that claiming points against the Reds on Sunday is a huge task and he's urged his players just to put in maximum effort.

"We just have to cope the best we can," Warnock said. "On a good day, as they've shown this season, they'll beat anyone. We just want to perform well.

"It's going to be a great day but I don't just want it to be a lovely day where we get battered.

"I want us to put up a performance, so that's what we've been working on this week and a good performance will stand us in good stead for the next couple of games."

The last time the two sides met, Liverpool claimed a resounding 4-1 victory back in October with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Xherdan Shaqiri all finding the scoresheet at Anfield.
