Micah Richards may be supporting Manchester City when Liverpool travel to the Etihad on Saturday but the former City defender has been speaking about one Reds star ahead of the game.

Salah was sent out on loan to Italy while he was still at Chelsea and while playing alongside our No. 11 Richards quickly realised that the Stamford Bridge outfit had made a mistake by letting the winger leave.

We really are lucky to have him – let’s hope he can fire us towards all three points at the weekend.
