The Premier League champions are second on the league table and are six points away from Liverpool who are yet to be defeated in the league this season.
Manchester City have won just one game at Anfield since 1981, but the Belgian has reiterated that he is not fazed by the hostile atmosphere of the home fans.
"If you are somebody who wants to compete for titles and win, these are the games you want to play," the 28-year-old told Sky Sports ahead of the Cityzens’ game against Liverpool.”
"I like Anfield, I like it a lot. I love people being on you, being noisy, that is what it's all about. I love the passion of football.”
"Lately, a lot of new things have been introduced in football, but I still love things how they were in the old days.”
“People shout and get their team forward. That is something that I learned in Germany, because fans are so behind their team.”
"The home players probably get a little bit more [from the Anfield atmosphere] but even if it's against you, you are at the top of the world, playing the best level. That is what you want.
"You fight your whole lifetime to be here. That's the appreciation you get for working as a young child and getting here.
"You know if you play away from home, people are going to be against you and when you play at home, people are for you. That's just the way the world rolls."
