Gary Lineker has suggested on Twitter that Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool will not win the Premier League title this season, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will.

Liverpool played out a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

Manchester City, who won the league title last season, hammered Newcastle United 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the league on Sunday.

City are now three points ahead of second-placed Liverpool at the top of the league table.

Former Tottenham striker and MOTD presenter Lineker believes that it looks like City will win the title ahead of Liverpool.

In our opinion, Manchester City are now the clear favourites to win the Premier League title this season, but Liverpool could still spring a surprise.

Yes, City are three points ahead, but the Citizens could still slip up.

Anything is possible.

Just look at what happened in the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Liverpool, though, need to win all of their games and cannot afford any more slip-ups.

We think that the Premier League title race will go down to the final day of the season.
