Paul Merson provides title race blueprint for Liverpool

Sky Sports’ Paul Merson wrote in his weekly column that Liverpool can win the Premier League if they beat Manchester City in November.

“Tottenham are up next for Liverpool and it’s another hard game,” Merson wrote for Sky Sports.

“Liverpool need to win next weekend. Manchester City play before them and if Pep Guardiola’s side get a win then the gap is down to three points. There will obviously be a game in hand, but the pressure will be different as Liverpool will need to win.

“They then play Man City in a few weeks and if Jurgen Klopp’s side wins the game and go nine points clear, you’d probably say goodnight to the title race. Liverpool would have to throw it away big time from there.”

Jurgen Klopp would never admit it but if Liverpool managed to get a nine-point leade before Christmas after having played Manchester City, he would be very confident of being able to maintain form and win the Premier League.

Of course, things could go disastrously wrong for them but the Reds have done so well to drop just two points in nine games this season and will feel very confident that they can dispatch a shocking Spurs side.

The North Londoners are playing very badly and will be in the same place as United if they lose to Liverpool on Sunday.
