Gary Lineker has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to Manchester City beating Chelsea and extending their lead over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Manchester City have got the better of Chelsea 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League today.
Kevin De Bruyne scored the only goal of the match in the 70th minute.
Defending champions City are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 56 points from 22 matches.
Chelsea are second with 43 points from 22 matches, while Liverpool are third with 42 points from 20 matches.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City striker Lineker has given his take on City’s win on Twitter.
You can see it below.
Can Liverpool catch Manchester City?
In our view, Manchester City are now the clear favourites, but Guardiola has not won the title yet.
Liverpool have two games in hand.
If the Reds win those two matches, then Klopp’s side will be eight points behind leaders City.
That would still be a considerable gap, but not enough for City to celebrate.
City have lost two Premier League games already this season, and they could still drop points.
In our view, Liverpool can still catch City, but, of course, the Reds need to win their games and must not slip up.
