'Pep's made us aware of poor record'-kyle walker

Kyle Walker has revealed Pep Guardiola has told his players about Manchester City’s poor record at Liverpool in the Premier League.

City have lost 14 of their 20 meetings at Anfield with their only victory coming in May 2003 - when Walker was just 13 years old.

But City head to Liverpool this season unbeaten, 15 points clear at the top and having already defeated Liverpool 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in September.

Speaking to Andy Hinchcliffe on Sky Sports Matchzone, Walker, when asked whether Guardiola had made the players aware of their woeful record at Anfield, said: "Yes, yes. The gaffer's made us well aware of that [record].

"He has said to us that sometimes, if you've not been winning there for all these years it needs to be something that is coming from within us and we need to change that."

With City favourites to win the Premier League and going strong in the three cup competitions, Walker will be hoping to carry any success into this summer with England at the World Cup.

The former Tottenham full-back admits Russia is in his thoughts.

"It's in the back of your mind because you want to be on that plane," he said. "You need to be playing well at your club to make sure you are on that plane.

"So it is in the back of my mind but first and foremost, it's Manchester City at the minute."

Epic tho.. davido shades Caroline danjuma in new track #FIA

On his new single titled “Fia,” Davido subliminally shaded actress and girlfriend of late Tagbo, Caroline Danjuma. The two celebrities had a face-off that led them to the police for resolution. The issue emanated from the Caroline Danjuma’s Instagram post, accusing Davido of being involved in Tagbo’s death. The issue seem to have been resolved by the Nigerian police, with Davido vindicated and Caroline Danjuma embracing peace. But as expected, Davido addressed the issue on his latest single, Fia. His lyrics on the song, seem to be a shade to the beautiful actress. On the song, Davido said: “Caroline save your drama I dont need it, (its) for the soap opera. Holla holla Mr. Olopa I’m not hear to cause wahala o. Hello diva save your drama, you don’t need it in your soap opera o….”

To the surprise of several people, the statue erected was without a head and this raised a lot of suspiscion and comments from fans of the late Afrobeat legend. Responding on behalf of the family, Fela’s daughter and social commentator, Yeni Kuti has justified the design of the monument, saying it was the expression of how the artist felt about the late legend. She said: ‘Before people on social media will start to say the Fela has no head or it has no hand and so on, it is art and before you abuse us, let me answer quickly. It is art. How an artist feels is how he feels because if he had put a head and the head did not look like Fela, everybody will say the head did not look like Fela so now you cannot abuse the head because it is not even t...
