Jurgen Klopp has said he doesn’t expect Manchester City to slip up this weekend against Aston Villa, meaning Pep Guardiola’s men would claim another Premier League title at the expense of Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola’s side were held to a 2-2 draw by David Moyes’s men at the London Stadium, and the Reds will have the chance to cut City’s lead at the top to just a single point if they beat Southampton on Tuesday.
City have not dropped points in consecutive league games since December 2020, when they had to settle for successive draws against Manchester United and West Brom.
With City at home to Aston Villa in their final match, Klopp – whose side host Wolves on the last day – is not expecting Pep Guardiola’s side to slip up again.
‘Is there a big chance? I wouldn’t say so,’ Klopp responded when asked in his pre-match press conference about his side’s chances of overhauling the defending champions.
‘I don’t know the last time City dropped points two games in a row and Villa have to play midweek. I don’t expect City to drop points there.’
These Klopp’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
