Jamie Redknapp highlights "major problem" in Liverpool's title run-in with Man City

Ex-Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes the upcoming match between his two former sides could determine who wins the Premier League this season.

Manchester City are currently one point ahead at the top of the table after drawing 2-2 with the Reds on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s side went ahead twice at Etihad Stadium and Liverpool fans may therefore be pleased to come away with a point for their efforts – especially as Riyad Mahrez missed the chance to steal all three points in the very last minute.

With just seven games left of the season, every game will feel like a cup final for Liverpool and City, with a single slip up by either side likely to be capitalised on. And Redknapp believes that Tottenham's game against the Reds could be a 'major problem' for Jurgen Klopp's side.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: “I find this title race impossible to call. I’ve got this feeling Liverpool v Tottenham on May 7 will be significant. Can Klopp’s crew navigate that one? That might be the match which poses them a major problem. But what a rivalry this is.

“Some people say City pass the ball too much. Others adore that about them. Some people say Liverpool’s high energy is a thing of beauty. Others don’t think they play football that’s pretty enough. It’s like the age-old debate over who you prefer between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

“Whatever your view on City and Liverpool and their styles, I think we can all agree that it is incredible to watch these winners strut their stuff.” It is no surprise that the Tottenham match has been flagged as a tricky one for the Reds given that Antonio Conte’s side have been in flying form of late and currently occupy the fourth spot in the Premier
