Liverpool host Manchester City in the first leg of tomorrow
night’s hugely-anticipated Champions League quarter-finals tie at
Anfield.
City are 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League and on the brink of being crowned champions, but their only loss this season came away at Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola’s side were defeated 4-3 by Jurgen Klopp’s men at Anfield back in January.
And Reds left-back Robertson said: "I don't think we can be afraid. They won't be afraid of us and we won't be afraid of them.
"Their movement is a joy to watch at times, and as a defender you need to be aware of that, but hopefully we'll be attacking as well and we can push them back into areas where they don't want to go."
Liverpool scored three goals against City in nine second-half minutes to power into a 4-1 lead, with the visitors pulling two late strikes back.

They've been the best team in our league this season and are
going to win the league, undoubtedly, but this is two games in the
Champions League, a one-off.
"We have as much right to be in the quarter-finals as they do and there is no seeding in it. It will be a big occasion."Their movement is a joy to watch at times, and as a defender you need to be aware of that, but hopefully we'll be attacking as well and we can push them back into areas where they don't want to go."
