Liverpool told games that will decide Premier League title after Man City draw

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has told his former club that it is their away games that will determine who lifts the Premier League trophy at the end of the season.

The Reds drew 2-2 with Manchester City on Sunday evening which meant that Pep Guardiola’s side remained at the top of the table by just a point. With City taking the lead twice, through Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus, the draw will certainly be a pleasing one for Liverpool.

With seven games left of the season, neutrals are strapping themselves in for a grand slam end to the campaign. Carragher has highlighted that he thinks it will be the matches that both teams have to play away from home that’ll make the difference at the end of the campaign.

He tweeted: “Draw was a better point in the end for Liverpool as Man City should have won. I think the away games both teams have will decide the title as I can see a draw or two along the way!”

The Reds have away games against Newcastle, Aston Villa remaining, whereas City need to travel to Wolves, Leeds and West Ham. On paper, Manchester City have the easier run-ins of the two teams with several matches against those towards the bottom of the table. However, Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes that those games will be notably more difficult than the ‘harder’ games that Liverpool have coming up.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “In the cup competitions, anything could happen. In the Premier League, we’ve looked at City and thought that’s an easy run-in but actually, that’s because we’re looking at (Liverpool’s) Merseyside derby and Manchester United. In an ordinary season, (those games) would be tough, but those two teams are appalling. They could be easier than any of the teams than any of the teams
