Liverpool midfielder James Milner has said he will be cheering on Manchester United when they host City in Wednesday PL derby

Liverpool are hoping to capitalize on Manchester City's setback when they face Manchester United on Wednesday in the Premier League - that's if the Red Devils can take points off the Cityzens in the clash.
A slip-down for Pep Guardiola's side means Liverpool are guaranteed League leaders with just three games left to end this season's campaign.
There have been a well know long-term rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United, but 33-year-old James will put history to one side in the Manchester derby and cheer with the Red devils in victory - to the advantage of his Liverpool side.
"First time in my life," Milner said about his support for United in the Manchester derby.
"But I won't be watching. It's a bit of a waste of energy, willing the ball in the other goal.
"I can't do anything about it. I'll maybe put my phone away for a few hours and check it after. I've no idea what I'll do, maybe go out for some food."
Milner has played for Manchester United's three great rivals - Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester City - over a 17-year playing that have seen him rack up more than 600 senior games.
