'It's the next game we can win' - Henderson on Community Shield clash

Liverpool skipper Jordan Henderson has downplayed the Reds' rivalry with Manchester City ahead of this weekend's Community Shield clash.

The Champions League-winning midfielder harbours no animosity towards Pep Guardiola's side who pipped the Reds' to the Premier League title last season by a single point.

Speaking in an interview for Sunday's match programme, Henderson admitted: "I don't think I'll ever tire of playing at Wembley.

"I've been lucky to play here a few times with Liverpool and of course England. The feeling of coming here and it being special never gets old. It's a big game and a big occasion.

"It's a first for me – playing in a Community Shield – but I know it's a competition Liverpool have always taken seriously, so that brings a responsibility for whoever gets picked to do everything we can to win."

"I'm not bothered about an advantage, we just want to win – full stop," the 29-year-old continued.

"The opponent is only relevant because in order to win it, we have to beat them. Sure, it's the same for City. It's the next game for us and therefore the next one we can win – that's our attitude."
