Micah Richards doesn’t believe that Liverpool can go on and win the title claiming that it’s between Arsenal and Manchester City at this point.
In what will be a titanic clash on Sunday evening, Mikel Arteta faces off against his mentor Pep Guardiola at the Etihad Stadium in a title-deciding showdown.
The two sides have already met twice this season with the Gunners winning on both occasions, once in the league and once in the Charity Shield.
But Sunday’s clash will be the biggest showdown so far with the winner thrust into pole position to win the Premier League.
But should Arsenal not win the game, Liverpool will go first if they are able to beat Brighton at Anfield.
Micah Richards on Liverpool title chances
Despite this, former Manchester City defender Richards doesn’t believe they will win the title this campaign claiming that it will come down to the other two sides.
“No, they’re not going to win the league. I think it’s Manchester City or Arsenal… I think Manchester City will win the league.” He said when questioned on Liverpool during the Rest is Football Podcast via Football 365.
“It depends what happens on Sunday. If Arsenal go to the Etihad and win…”
Out of all three sides, Jurgen Klopp’s men have arguably the easiest run-in but have been hit with a plethora of injuries over the past two months.
I like Micah. He’s a funny guy to watch. But ruling Liverpool shows a lack of knowledge. Only because of VAR are Liverpool not 10pts clear at the top. They’ve lost twice. Once because of VAR. The injuries we’ve had should have ruled us out. But we are still top and many player’s are close to return. Jota is an unbelievable player and he should be back soon. Liverpool don’t let that many goals in but score a lot. 9 games to go but only a couple of them are potentially difficult.
I have pleasure in being an underdog in the title race.People have a right to express their opinion.Micah is saying no chance for LFC in the race probably because of lack of quality.But nobody gives credit to LFC as they arè the most side that has been negatively impacted by poor officiating. Where would LFC be had they not been cheated in Spurs stadium, at Enfield against both city and arsenal? By now they would have been 8 points at the top.But you can rule out LFC at your own peril.
What an idiot of a person
