Former Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez is backing his former team to finally win the Premier League title.
Liverpool are unbeaten in the Premier League this season, they're six point clear of second placed Manchester City who they play next at Anfield. A win will move them 9 points clear from the rest of the pack and further cement their hold in the League title.
But a defeat will be catastrophic, Jurgen Klopp and his team will be under immerse pressure from the press who will instantly judge their credibility.
Benitez don't want to see that happen but warns Liverpool against complacency.
"Liverpool are six points clear at the top of the Premier League and they are favourities to win the title. It has been a long time coming", Benitez told Sky Sports.
"Jurgen Klopp's side have the intensity, they have the quality, they can play counter-attack or they can sustain their attacking. They have a lot of very good players and they're extremely competitive, but nothing is guaranteed just yet.
"Sometimes a title can depend on one game and sometimes it can depend on a single moment in one game, so imagine what might happen if Manchester City beat Liverpool this weekend. Pep Guadiola's team would then be so close.
"The media would be asking questions- can they do it, will they do it, are they feeling the pressure, can they cope with it?- and it will build up and build up".
Rafa Benitez, Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp are the only Liverpool managers to have come close to winning the Premier League title. But each of them had moments that ended their emphatic run to the final. Benitez lost the title after Andrei Ashavin scored 4 goals to draw Liverpool 4-4 at the Emirates.
Rodgers lost it when Liverpool lost 2-0 to Chelsea at Anfield and later, drew 3-3 to Crystal Palace despite leading them 3-0 in the first half.
Klopp meanwhile lost it when his team lost 2-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium along with draws to Leicester City, West Ham and 5 other teams.
"After last year, Liverpool have more experience and that's always a positive, but City have grown used to being at the top. They know what it takes to win. They also have fantastic talent. What Liverpool possess is the advantage and they certainly have the potential to go one step further, but this is football and it's far too early to talk about what will happen in May. Nothing is definitive in November".
Liverpool will play Manchester City next on Sunday and the whole world will be watching the game.
