Jamie Carragher says Liverpool are asking serious questions of Man City

Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to four points and with Man City set to take on Crystal Palace on Saturday, the pressure is on the champions to get a result or risk lagging behind.

The Reds showed genuine maturity at Molineux to come away with a dominant 2-0 win in terrible conditions, with belief surging in the Liverpool fanbase.

Spending Christmas at the top of the tree will serve as a tremendous confidence boost heading into the remainder of the festive fixture list and Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool are asking questions of Man City that haven’t been asked before.

“At the end of the season, whichever side goes on to win the title, the one who comes second is going to have an unbelievable points tally that, almost any other season would win the league,” said Carragher.

“You’ll probably feel for whoever misses out, whether that’s City or Liverpool. City, in the last 18 months, have just gone away from everyone. There was no real challenge last season. It felt like the season was over at this stage last season.

“The fact Liverpool are with them now it maybe asks questions of this Man City side that we haven’t seen before.

“I’m sure they’ll answer them – I’m not questioning them in that way. But I think it’s nice we have someone chasing this City side.

“This City side is a special side, and I think over the next four or five years we will be speaking about a special team in this Premier League era. But could a side win the league three or four years on the bounce?

“The great Manchester United sides found that difficult. There’s always someone who wins the league out of nowhere. Could this be the season when someone else actually wins it, and could it be Liverpool?”
