Rafa Benitez has given Liverpool and Arsenal hope of winning the Premier League but admits Manchester City now have a ‘great advantage’ in the title race.
Sunday may be seen as the decisive moment in the title race as both Liverpool and Arsenal were beaten at home to leave Man City two points clear at the top of the table.
Liverpool welcomed struggling Crystal Palace to Anfield and could not respond to Eberechi Eze’s early goal despite creating a number of glorious chances.
Later in the day, Arsenal also dropped crucial points in the title race, losing 2-0 to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa thanks to late goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.
Manchester City are going for a record fourth successive Premier League title as well as back-to-back trebles and Benitez insists they now have a ‘great advantage’ over their two nearest rivals.
But the legendary manager has given Liverpool and Arsenal hope of catching Pep Guardiola’s side, insisting he expects a few more twists and turns in the title race during the run-in.
‘Manchester City are playing with a lot of confidence,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘They have a good squad ? they can change three or four players and still win easily.
