MAN CITY IN BETTER POSITION TO WIN PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE – BENITEZ
Former Real Madrid manager, Rafa Benitez, believes Manchester City have a greater advantage to win the Premier League title over Liverpool and Arsenal this season.
He made this known on the backdrop of both Liverpool and Arsenal dropping points at the weekend to Crystal Palace and Aston Villa respectively.
However, in a chat with Sky Sports, Benitez said that there will be more dropped points, but Pep Guardiola’s men will finish top.
“Manchester City are playing with a lot of confidence. They have a good squad – they can change three or four players and still win easily.
“Can I see them making similar mistakes as Liverpool and Arsenal did this weekend? Yes, I can. But at the same time the others could make mistakes so I think City have a great advantage.’
“I watched both games and Liverpool had some bad luck because they had some great chances.
“A similar thing happened with Arsenal, they were better in the first half but then they lost control of the game and they were suffering. I think, like Liverpool, being in this position where they cannot lose games or drop points affected them.”
