Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany does not believe the club has to sign a defender.
City are struggling with a lack of fit center backs this season, with Aymeric Laporte and John Stones having endured injury problems this season.
It comes off the back of their inability to replace Kompany in the summer, after the veteran departed for Anderlecht.
Speaking about the issue on Sky Sports, Kompany said: "I don't think they need to sign another defender.
"We always struggle at Anfield. I said that on Super Sunday, you're fighting 25 years of not winning at Anfield and that's difficult, it's two games in one game - you're playing a great team and you're fighting history.
"Flip it around and the same will happen for Liverpool - they will fight the history of not winning the league for 30 years.
"That should be to City's advantage I still think. As to the defence, the best way for City to defend in the past has been to attack. They have no reason to change that.
"As soon as they start reconnecting with the best performances, I'm convinced that we can see a sustainable amount of wins."
