Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp on Manchester City

Klopp told The Liverpool Echo about the title race: “You cannot win the league properly in the winter.

“It’s unlikely but what City have now is a gap, they deserve it, but let’s just give it a go. Only one team can be champions.

“A decisive moment in April, you have to be close enough then. So many games to play, oh my God.”

Premier League title race

In our opinion, it is too early to claim that Manchester City ‘have won’ the Premier League title ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool.

Most of us will agree that, at this stage of the season, it looks very likely that City will win the title for the second year in a row.

However, Chelsea and Liverpool are strong teams who are not going to make it easy for City to have it all their way.

We think that the Premier League title will go down to the wire.

Let’s not ignore the fact that Liverpool have played a fewer game than City.
