Louis van Gaal backs Liverpool’s style to win Premier League title

Former Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes Liverpool’s style will ultimately lead them to the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool are currently four points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table after 21 games.

City did just defeat Liverpool at the Etihad last Thursday night, but Van Gaal believes come the end of the season, Liverpool’s style will prove too much for others to handle.

“If I was to put my money on one club for the league, it would be Liverpool,” Van Gaal told The Mirror.

“Liverpool have a team that can defend much better. That’s because Klopp has trained them to be a fighting force, whether they have the ball or not.

“That’s exactly what is lacking in Guardiola’s team now. City have fabulous football ideas and a sparkling way of playing but not the right fighting spirit.

“Don’t get me wrong, I still love to watch City play but the way Klopp makes Liverpool play is absolutely fantastic.”
