Liverpool and Man City go head-to-head in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium next month with only one point currently separating the two and Sergio Aguero has been having his say.
Aguero believes Manchester City’s title chances do not hinge on their showdown with Liverpool, but on the crucial final games after it.
“Every time that Manchester City and Liverpool have played against each other in the last few seasons, there have had a huge amount of importance and are crucial for the title race. We’re talking about two teams that have dominated the Premier League landscape lately. They’re both consistent, and that keeps it very tight at the top of the table,” He told Stake.
“The match at City will be key in the title race, but it’s important to remember that there are still more games ahead and anything can happen. A result for either team will be really favourable, but don’t ensure it’s a decider – anything can happen in the Premier League.
“A team that is seemingly weaker can turn the tables on the biggest clubs at any time, that’s the nature of the Premier League and why it’s such an appealing competition all over the world. The title is only settled on the last few games of a season.”
Aguero also disputed the idea that City’s form has dropped recently. Jurgen Klopp’s side have closed the gap on the Citizens in recent weeks following a couple of surprise results for their rivals.
Tottenham Hotspur earned a victory at the Etihad last month, while Crystal Palace held the reigning Premier League champions to a goalless draw last Monday.
“I don’t think that City’s form has been going down. You can lose points because of some minor things, but City are having a terrific season. Their defence is hard to break through and they are always trying to score and have racked up plenty of wins,” he said on club’s recent run of results.
“Their rivals are always going to be right with them too, and many added strong additions in the January transfer window has helped them play a lot better. I think this City team is committed and fighting on every front.”
These Aguero’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“To be honest, I agree with him. Since the turn of the year we dropped points against team we dropped points against last year aswell, nothing new, aside the fact we’ve progressed in Champions League and beaten one of our supposed boogey team when it mattered in the FA Cup. We’re still good to go.”
