Sergio Aguero believes there’s still time for City to catch Liverpool

Sergio Aguero believes that there are enough games left in the Premier League season to chase Liverpool down after the Reds opened up a seven point lead during December.

The Sky Blues endured a terrible run of form in key midfielder Fernandinho’s absence, slumping to three defeats over the festive fixture list, allowing the Reds to overtake City and open up a seven-point gap over their rivals.

And with City hosting Liverpool at the Etihad on Thursday, Pep Guardiola’s side have the chance to cut the deficit down to four points.

“There’s no denying it is a huge game for both clubs,” the Argentina international told City’s official website. “Direct clashes between leading teams have a major impact towards the end of the season.

“December didn’t pan out the way we wanted it to and now we’ve got more ground to make up so yes, that makes the game even more important.

“But we are only in January and there are still plenty of Premier League games ahead of us and from the looks of it, there are three or four teams angling to win the title. It’s going to come down to the wire.

“Of course, we knew repeating last year’s success wouldn’t be a simple task but we always aim for excellence.”
