Manchester City fullback Kyle Walker says the players will be ready for Liverpool on Saturday.
Walker insists City's players can handle the early 12:30pm kickoff.
City captain Walker said: "We're going to get back from Macedonia early on Tuesday morning, but I have a good manager who gives us a couple of days off before the weekend. It's a little tiring sometimes, but I wouldn't change my job for the world.
"Sports science has helped me massively.
"I do my gym work for my muscles and I'm still sharp."
