Arsene Wenger has suggested on beIN SPORTS that Liverpool will win the Premier League title this season after the win against Manchester City at the weekend.

Jurgen Klopp’s side got the better of City 3-1 at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.

The result means that the Reds are now as many as nine points clear of defending champions City, and former Arsenal manager Wenger has suggested that it is going to be hard for Pep Guardiola’s side to bridge the gap.

Wenger said on beIN SPORTS, as transcribed by The Mirror: “First of all, to lose a big game, it is terrible and you can see the reactions from both managers, how much pressure they are under and how much a game like that means.

“Guardiola will go home and be absolutely devastated, more than you think. If you think of a quantity, add 100 percent to that. Overall, nine points is too big a difference for Man City after 12 games.”

Title Liverpool’s to lose

Given Liverpool’s performance level and consistency in winning matches, it is hard to see the Merseyside outfit lose three games in the Premier League anytime soon.

True, there have been matches in which the Reds have had to grind out results, but the Merseyside outfit always look confident, and there is always the feeling that they will score at least one more goal than the opposition.

City have arguably the best squad in England, and manager Guardiola will not give up on the title just yet.
