Liverpool dropped two points against Everton this weekend to relinquish their lead at the top of the table.

For the first time in 2019, Manchester City top the table, with no games in hand involved.

Currently City are one point ahead of Liverpool, with nine games left to play each.

 

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has warned that Liverpool's season is now going to get even harder.

He told BeIN Sports, reported by The Mirror: "I think the psychological factor is very important.

"Now they have to think about others and not just themselves.

"They are thinking about two matches every weekend - their match and City's match."

Playing from the top of the league has not always been easy for Liverpool in the past few weeks.

It is possible that the opposite of Mourinho's comments turn out to be true, that Liverpool now play with more freedom.

Liverpool's next fixture is at home to Burnley. City are at home to Watford.
