Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are ahead of Manchester City in the Premier League table.
Liverpool are at the top of the league table at the moment with 25 points from nine matches.
City, who have won the league title for the past two seasons, currently find themselves six points behind the Reds.
Pochettino told Football.London when asked if Liverpool are the favourites for the Premier League title this season: “Yes, Liverpool is the favourites, of course it’s so early in the season but Liverpool and Manchester City are the clear favourites to win the title this season.”
Are Liverpool favourites?
City have arguably the best squad in the Premier League, but Liverpool look unstoppable at the moment and are winning games even without playing well.
Pep Guardiola is one of the best managers in the world, and he will know how to motivate his players.
Moreover, City did bridge quite a gap on the Reds last season, and that will encourage them this campaign as well.
There is a long way to go this season, and there will be quite a few twists and turns in the title race.
For Liverpool to win their first league title in the Premier League era, they have to maintain consistency and have to grind out results when they have to.
